Cover My Eyes -Big Smo/Haden Carpenter

You know people always think the most painful

Thing is losin'the one you love in your life

The truth is

The most painful thing is losin'yourself in the process of lovin'someone

And at some point you have to realize

That some people can stay in your heart

But not in your life

Yeah love at first sight

Whaddent what I imagined

And factuation mislead the reckless passion

Misguided actions from one to another

Down a path of lies that I had to uncover

Plans to be a mother for an unborn dream

Long time to be free everywhere we would meet

So I just let it be and hope for the best

Only to discover you were just like the rest

Took kindness from weakness and turned it to pain

For no better reason than personal gain

To drive me insane and to drag me down

Where I sit now alone and with doubt

A heart that was pure and built to last

Now broken and broached from my so called past

To left me with nothin'but wasted time

That I should've invested into my own life

I cover my eyes

My eyes are covered with shades

The shades that hang in my house

My heart is in there locked down babe

I cover my face

So nobody can see

The tears that fall onto my cheeks

Or the holes inside of me

And baby you

Understand but maybe you don't maybe I

Understand but maybe I won't baby I know

The sun ain't goin'down anytime soon

So I cover my eyes

Yeah I cover my eyes

When I look at you ooooooh

I had big dreams to live and let love

Hangin'in the balance so push comes to shove

I wasn't above that standard you met

I try but never reach the status you set

I let you build me up just to tear me down

Cause I didn't have what it took to turn your frown around

Like you did my heart still I was always there

That's why we fell so apart but you never did care

It was a dead journey for the beginin'to end

After what I went through we could never be friends

You tore out my trust ripped off my smile

Stained my soul with your sinister style

All while I wouldn't built for you

I deserved a better life with a love so true

Cause life's to short to live with a mistake

Even if it feels right the stress is bound to break

A good man down to simple and true

Which is what lead me here finished with you

Nothin'left to do but to pack our past

Toss it out the door soak and wet in the grass

I cover my eyes

My eyes are covered with shades

The shades that hang in my house

My heart is in there locked down babe

I cover my face

So nobody can see

The tears that fall onto my cheeks

Or the holes inside of me

And baby you

Understand but maybe you don't maybe I

Understand but maybe I won't baby I know

The sun ain't goin'down anytime soon

So I cover my eyes

Yeah I cover my eyes

When I look at you ooooooh

Ooooooh

Ooooooh
