goodbye in your eyes

Don't say a word, because your eyes say everything to me
They speak volumes of your longing to be free
Though you might deny, it's really hard to disguise
That far away look of goodbye in your eyes.

It's taken a while to finally realize that all this is gonna end
It's not that I'm dumb, I'm just slow to comprehend
Why this is the only way, why there's no compromise
And why that far away look of goodbye is in your eyes.
Wave to me just to let me know it was real
But don't say a word about the things your eyes can't conceal
It's not fair, but we never thought life would be
I'm prepared, but I'm not saying goodbye willingly
It was gonna be fun, I thought we could keep it that way
But it's hard, and now I can see that you're backing away
Though I see it plain, to my heart it's still a surprise
To see that far away look of goodbye in your eyes.
Wave to me just to let me know it was real
But don't say a word about the things your eyes can't conceal
It's not fair, but we never thought life would be
I'm prepared, but I'm not saying goodbye willingly
Wave to me
That look of goodbye in your eyes
No matter what you say to me
That look of goodbye in your eyes
I'm gonna let it be
That look of goodbye in your eyes

Great page. This particular passage is something I have experienced too. My bridge went:

If you feel it, say it
Don't hang me out to dry
Cause I believe it maybe,
you could change my mind
And maybe looks are deceiving
But goodbye is in your eyes
And usually eyes don't lie.
