bat for lashes - sad eyes
I can tell that you're lonely
but it seems now, there's nothing you want me to do.
I won't try to take the sadness from those eyes that I love -
Leave it open for someone else to.
[The first verse is wanting to deny the truth behind his sad eyes.
The next part is trying to work through it, and doing normal things but it still not being good enough.
Then there is the acceptance that nothing she can do is good enough because he has to make himself feel better alone. 'Keep my love as light as a feather' - trying to just be there as a friend. 'Keep my heart breaking in the dark' - not showing him, or others, how much she is hurting over the impossible situation too. 'Come and spend the night... ' - just wanting things to go back to how they were before.
In turn, she forgets about her own hurt, focussing on him.]
