Don’t Look At Me That Way

Don't look at me with reproach in your eyes. Don't look, don't look at me that way. Don't look at me with reproach in your eyes. Don't look, don't look at me that way. I hold no contempt for you, none that I Hide. But I love how your gaze softly lingers, And the meek little cunning you wear like a Veil. Yes, you seem to me fallen and stretched On the ground, and I'll gladly admit what I'm Seeing. Like a fox playing dead in the snow, Luring crows into reach with her scheming. Well, so what? Lure away, I won't flinch. Only watch that your fire doesn't fade. For my long-cooled and hollow-out soul has been Snagged by that trap many times, unafraid. It's not you that I love, darling, Not you. Not you, not you that I love. You're an echo, a shadow, a ghost of a Face. Through your eyes, I see someone I'm dreaming Of. Someone, someone I'm dreaming Of. Someone, someone I'm dreaming of. She has eyes like the pale summer sky, And she may not appear to be tender. Her face is cool and distant, it's true, But she walked through me proud in full splendor. And she saw something deep in my soul, That kind you don't fool or don't cloud, or She sees. You don't want to give in And then do. But you can't even reach to the heart. With your honeyed and affection-soaked lie. Your lie. Through your face, I see someone I'm Dreaming of. Someone, someone I'm dreaming of. And yet, though I look at you cold, I Confess something hidden and strange and forever. If there were no Hell and no Heaven to Dread, man would still have invented them both one Way or another. Through your face, I see someone I'm dreaming of. Someone, Someone I'm dreaming of. Someone. Don't look at me with reproach in your eyes. I hold no contempt. None that I hide. Don't look at me with reproach in your eyes. I hold no contempt, none that I hide. Don't look at me with reproach in your eyes. I hold no contempt, none that I hide.
