Look me in my eyes 
© 2007/2010
Dan Johnson

Nothing lasts forever, and that is simply that
but your lack of honesty, has left me flat,
So if you’re about to leave me for someone new,
There’s only one thing I’d ask of you…

(Chorus)
No more cheating, no more lies, no more, one more fresh start, just
Look me in my eyes if you’re about to break my heart,

Don’t call me on the phone,
Don’t blame it on any lame old thing,
Because if you don’t’ look me in my eyes
And tell the truth…someday that phone of
Yours is going to cheat on you.

(Chorus)
No more cheating, no more lies, no more, one more fresh start, just
Look me in my eyes if you’re about to break my heart,

Please, no email from you to me…
Tell me face to face
That’s the way it has to be
Your heart has turned brutally cold,
All our dreams are melting on a sinking fjord, so all l I ask is;

(Chorus)
No more cheating, no more lies, no more, one more fresh start, just
Look me in my eyes if you’re about to break my heart,

Don’t send me a sweet scented note,
That kind of rejection…just don’t float!
Look me directly in my eyes
Don’t try to fill me with your cheat’n lies!

So baby if we’re through, please, please, please…

(Chorus)
No more cheating, no more lies, no more, one more fresh start, just
Look me in my eyes if you’re about to break my heart.

Dan:

Well said....they think they are "laying you down easy," but in reality it becomes more difficult. The direct way hurts most for a short time, but is always best in the long run...

Great write Dan. Change the gender and it could be my story of some time ago. This is definitely not one you could do in 50 words *smile*
