Behind Lying Eyes

💔 [Verse 1 – Soft Guitar, Minor Key Tension]

You still kiss me when the lights go out,
But your lips don’t taste the same.
You still laugh at all my stories,
But your eyes forget my name.

You’re here in the room, but baby,
You’re driftin’ off somewhere far.
And I ain’t blind to what you’re hidin’—
I just don’t know who you are.

⸻

🕯️ [Chorus – Heavy, Slow, Honest]

Behind lying eyes, there’s another man.
Another dream, another plan.
I see the truth you won’t confess,
In every blink and second guess.
You wear the mask, but I feel the fight—
You’re holdin’ his hand in your mind at night.
And I still play the fool in your sweet disguise…
But I know what’s behind those lying eyes.

⸻

🍂 [Verse 2 – Stronger Voice, More Resigned]

You touch your phone and hide the screen,
Say it’s work—then smile so clean.
But that ain’t the grin you gave to me,
Back when love came honestly.

You say you’re tired, say you’re numb—
But I can feel where your heart runs.
And every “I love you” that don’t land
Feels like a whisper meant for him, not this man.

⸻

🔥 [Bridge – Spoken or Barely Sung]

I ain’t lookin’ for a fight,
Just the woman who used to look at me like I was light.
Now I’m the shadow in your glow…
And baby, I already know.

⸻

🩸 [Final Chorus – Gutted, Maybe Slightly Raised Key or Harmony]

Behind lying eyes, there’s someone new.
And I ain’t blind, I see right through.
You say the words, but they don’t stick—
Like you’re just readin’ off a script.
You ain’t gone, but you ain’t mine—
You’re here in body, but love’s resigned.
So I just hold what little survives…
And pretend I don’t see behind your lying eyes.

Haunting country mixed with southern rock ballad. Slow, emotional, romance. Beautifully broken, cheating wife.
