Garden Eyes

Is it so perfect now?
It′s all you think about
Like you could never do better than thisAre you so insecure?
But you can't picture more
Than just the distance between your lips

You keep using him as your remedy
What makes you so sure it was always meant to be?
Now it′s pulling strings on my sanity

'Cause you're seeing stars
You′re probably better off just closing your eyes
And I see who you are
It′s such a blissful disguise

I think you're too obsessed
The feeling in your chest
Is always telling you to stay
The reasons on your list
Begin to bend and shift
′Cause you're too scared to walk away

Why am I scolding you?
I know I′m guilty too
Craving perfection in
Somebody else's skin
At first I feel complete
Until the grass is greener
On the other side
Guessing a second time

′Cause you're seeing stars
You're probably better off just closing your eyes
And I see who you are
It′s such a blissful disguise
And I could paint your worth across your skin
And you′d still never know
How to break the cycle you're stuck in
If you set the bar too low

How many times do
I have to tell you?
Life′s not a picture on a silver screen
It's time to own up to reality
Caught in your complex
Rewrite the context
Put all the pieces where they′re supposed to be
Set up the scene to fit your fantasy
But nothing in this life was meant to be

'Cause you′re seeing stars
You're probably better off just closing your eyes
And I see who you are
It's such a blissful disguise
And I could paint your worth across your skin
And you′d still never know
How to break the cycle you′re stuck in
You set the bar too low
