Hungry Eyes
Eyes of Longing: A Journey from Heartbreak to Healing
Lyrics
So long she's been alone now
Expressing the duration of her solitude.
Her tears have dried
Indicating that she has overcome the sadness, as her tears have dried.
No more she's thinkin' of him
She is no longer dwelling on thoughts of him.
Her love has died
Her love for him has ended or faded away.

Scenes change and rearrange, lookin' through hungry eyes
Highlighting the constant change in her surroundings as she gazes longingly.
I knew the two of them
Referencing the speaker's familiarity with both individuals in the past.
When they were young

When they were one

She never felt alone, now she has hungry eyes

You need an angel

If she falls for some stranger, he might knock her down

She needs an angel

Hiding her feelings well

But she can't hide them all
