Glaze in My Eyes

You saw me sittin' all alone, at the bar with my hat tipped low
Drinkin' a glass of gin with no ice
And even though I sipped it slow, it would burn like a volcano
That's when you came sat down and said, "Hi"

And you didn't even recognize who I was but I didn't mind
'Cause I didn't feel like signing autographs no no no no
You saw me as a normal guy and you treated me oh so nice
You just wanted to know why I looked sad
That's when I said

I'm sad 'cause I hurt a soul tie
And when she left my soul died
Thought we'd be together for life
(Thought we'd be together for life)
I lost her because of my damn pride
I'm a man that can't cry
(But look at me now)
(With my face in the ground and a glaze in my eye)

I was so tough, til she called my bluff
Packed up all her stuff
(And left me here with a glaze in my eye)
My whole life I was taught, a man don't show his heart
But that's a foolish thought
('Cause now I got a glaze in my eye)

And it's harder to hide, my runny nose and my throat is dry
But I'm still tryin' not to let it show
(Still tryin' not to let my feeling show)
I'll just blame it on the alcohol, 'cause it makes me think I'm strong
but that's some bull and we both know, we both know

I can't believe I told some waitress, all of my personal business
And I ain't really believe you'd understand, but you did understand
You said everyone has issues, then you passed me a tissue
And told me that cryin' is what shows that I'm a real man

I'm sad 'cause I hurt a soul tie
And when she left my soul died
Thought we'd be together for life
(Thought we'd be together for life)
I lost her because of my damn pride
I'm a man that can't cry
(So look at me now)
(With my face in the ground and a glaze in my eye)

I was so tough, 'til she called my bluff, packed up all her stuff
(And left me here with a glaze in my eye)
My whole life I was taught, a man don't show his heart
But that's a foolish thought
('Cause now I got a glaze in my eye)

I was so tough, 'til she called my bluff, packed up all her stuff
(And now I got a glaze in my eye)
My whole life I was taught, a man don't show his heart
But that's a foolish thought
('Cause now I got a glaze in my eye)

I'm sorry baby
