Span - When She Stares-Album Version- Lyrics

I never thought that what I said
could have so many meanings
to her one voice is a harmony
I try to say I care but no
it sounds like I don t mean it
she thinks I m a parody

and when she won t speak to me
she doesn t tell me why
I m supposed to know what I ve done wrong
and make it right

I think she s made of glass
she breaks with the lightest touch
and cuts me when I try to put her back together
I twist myself to the best I can be
but I never do enough
I always do too much

and when she tells me to leave
all she wants is for me to stay
and when she wants me to stay
it s dangerous to leave

when she stares at me I go down
when that stare hits me I m wrapped around
when she stares I know it won t take long before I crawl

The moments of hope are the moments of truce
with weapons laid aside
and all is peace and beauty
I could go on like that forever
but the call was never mine
she wins, I m the loser

She hears my words like they re doublecross-designed
and every time she breaks she gets that cold and piercing eye

when she stares at me I go down
when that stare hits me I m wrapped around
when she stares I know it won t take long before I crawl

she s freaking out
I need a break
anything at all
anything at all
I need something to calm her down
anything at all
anything at all
anything at all!

It s been like this for all my life
everywhere I go, I tend to cause confusion
I go for peace, but end up with strife
the belief in a clear statement
is a painful illusion

everywhere I stay there s someone asking me to leave
and every time I leave there s someone asking me to stay
and everywhere someone stares and then again

when she stares at me I go down
when that stare hits me I m wrapped around
when she stares I know it won t take long before I crawl
(when she stares)

(when she stares)
When she stares
(when she stares)
When she stares
When she stares
