Don't think sorry's easily said Don't try turning tables instead You've taken lots of Chances before But I'm not gonna give anymore Don't ask me That's how it goes Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin' Don't say words you're gonna regret Don't let the fire rush to your head I've heard the accusation before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me The sun in your Eyes Made some of the lies worth believing Chorus: I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don't need to see any more To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind I can read your mind, I can read your mind Don't leave false illusions behind Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind So find another fool like before Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving (chorus)
