In My Eyes - Conversation Drifts lyrics

Every time I talk to you conversation drifts the same way

Things you wish you'd seen or wanted to do

There's always something in the way

We risk so little and regret so much

I don't lack the will to try

I have to do what's right for me

I don't mean to pass you by

I know I'm living up to what I want

I have something strong to believe

Making memories that last

Won't live in the past

Know what I need to succeed

It's not fame and fortune or mass appeal

Those promises are empty to me

It's earning respect and honor from friends

My sense of security

It took so long to find this all

And it can never be replaced

You can hold a grudge-suspect everyone

I'll trust an honest face

If I fail in your eyes,

I might gain something you can't comprehend

Such a waste to never have a passion

I'll follow mine until the end
