She’d yell at him
Shame him in front of his friends
She’d scream at him
And say she hated him
She’d hurt him over and over again

She never saw what she was doing
Never knew what was coming
Didn’t know what she’d done
When she had screamed and told him

Don’t look away from me
Turn your eyes on me
I hate you, stupid boy
You’ve ruined everything

Years passed, the boy grew
She continued to yell
But he forgot to care
He was just looking for someone
Someone who would be there

He kept searching and trying
He lost his way but somehow got up
Crying for an answer, looking for a sign
He called out

Don’t look away from me
Please turn your eyes over here
I just want someone to see
That there is someone inside of me

The boy finally found a girl
She smiled, she was shy
She was hard to talk to
For the longest time
But the boy waited for her
Until she came around

He loved her, and she loved him
And he was her very first kiss
When she looked down, he lifted her head
With tears in his eyes, he pleaded

Don’t look away from me
Please, keep your eyes on me
I love you more than anything
Because you looked at me

He had been hurt so many times
He knew what was wrong with looking away
Because you can see through their eyes
When they’re begging you deep inside

Don’t look away from me
Please turn your eyes over here
I just want someone to see
That there is someone inside of me
