I reminisce to days In Montreal,
Elementary, Grey consumes the wall,
If I had died, I thought of what I'd say,
My Eyes Are Going Anyway

I played the music just to play pretend,
Visit cinemas, see the film again,
I'd talk to someone, but he passed away.
My Eyes Are Going Anyway

The keys would play my song,
But I'd start it early on,
After all the smoke had gone
The fabric used to mend
Father, make me who I am
Maybe God will save me then

So when I saw her break the distances,
I would move for her, Faking happiness,
I've found another one who said she'd stay
My Eyes Are Going Anyway

Now the blue surrounds my skin
What a place I'm living in
Make the verses on a whim
And 6 years to be proud,
7 more to speak aloud
Melodies to break me out
The bus can take me from my neighborhood,
If I had the years, then I surely would,
Because I'd master what was loved today,
My Eyes Are Going Anyway

I wouldn't have it any other way
It isn't easy to elaborate.
I hope I haven't given any pain,
But I'd never do it again.

I saw my friends the date of 50 years,
Started from the soul, And reduced to tears
What used to flourish now is turned to grey,
My eyes have gone away
