The Beyonds - Shortsighted Lyrics

She looks in his eyes waiting for the words
Three little syllables she's never heard
He's given her his heart shown her his soul
But she's holding back waiting for him to be bold
He's asked her to marry him more than just once
But she keeps turning him down like it's just a dance
She wants to hear "I love you" before she can commit
Not realizing her doubts are making him quit
She's waiting for him to say "I love you" first
But she's pushing him away making it worse
Doesn't see it's crazy to ask him to stay
When she won't say yes to forever today
Every time he proposes she turns him down
She wants more assurance a love that's profound
But he's given her everything heart on his sleeve
Wondering why she won't believe
She thinks he'll keep trying that he'll never leave
But love needs a promise something to believe
She's caught in a cycle a game she can't win
Not seeing the patience is wearing thin
She's waiting for him to say "I love you" first
But she's pushing him away making it worse
Doesn't see it's crazy to ask him to stay
When she won't say yes to forever today
In the silence of the night she wonders why
He's growing distant she starts to cry
Doesn't understand the hurt she's caused
In her quest for words love's paused
She's waiting for him to say "I love you" first
But she's pushing him away making it worse
Doesn't see it's crazy to ask him to stay
When she won't say yes to forever today
Maybe one day she'll see the light
That love is more than words in the night
By then he might be too far gone
Leaving her with the echo of a love withdrawn
