your eyes are red like the sun that reflects behind the clouds
i guess it was a bit of a coincidence that they glowed as soon as i came around
and i used to make a joke about how you weren't the type to have feelings
and that was true until you cried at my door and everything changed

ahhhh don't guess it will not go away
ahhhh i pulled you in, i let you stay
ahhh i messed it up so badly now
ahhhh guess i miss you around

so you cried and i cried
looking at you with bloodshot eyes
you smiled, i tried to convince myself that i hated you in the middle of the night
but now we're here, i am waiting for an answer to tell me we'll be fine
but i'll never get it cause you refuse to say it
cause you look at me with those bloodshot eyes

school days feel so long without engaging with you
never realised at all, didn't have a clue
that you would secretly smile when i turned my back and then when i caught your gaze, you would treat me like you wanted to attack me or want me dead
is it love or lust or is it all in my head?

ahhhh don't guess it will not go away
ahhhh i pulled you in, i let you stay
ahhh i messed it up so badly now
ahhhh guess i miss you around

so you cried and i cried
looking at you with bloodshot eyes
you smiled, i tried to convince myself that i hated you in the middle of the night
but now we're here, i am waiting for an answer to tell me we'll be fine
but i'll never get it cause you refuse to say it
cause you look at me with those bloodshot eyes

and when i knocked on your door, you were caught off guard but i needed to say my piece
i couldn't breathe at the way you look at me and i felt like it was make believe
i was about to leave but you stopped me
and kissed me like you needed me around

so you cried and i cried
looking at you with bloodshot eyes
you smiled, i knew that i loved you the moment i heard you cry
but now we're here, i'm in your arms and i know you feel the same
but i guess i get it now because you also want me around
cause you look at me with those bloodshot eyes and i will kiss you goodnight
