Lyrics:

You know, people always think the most painful thing is losing the one you love in your life
The truth is, the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving 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 wasn't what I imagined
Infatuation misled to 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
Part-time to be free, everywhere but with me
So I just let it be and hope for the best
Only to discover you were just like the rest
You took kindness for weakness, 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 without
A heart that was pure and built to last
Now broken and bruised from my so-called past
That left me with nothing 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 on my cheeks
Or the holes inside of me
And maybe you understand but maybe you don't
Maybe I understand but maybe I won't baby
I know the sun ain't going down anytime soon
So I cover my eyes
Yeah, I cover my eyes
When I look at you

I had big dreams to live and let love
Hanging in the balance of push come to shove
I wasn't above that standard you met
I tried but never reached 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 from beginning to end
After what I went through we could never be friends
You tore out my trust, ripped up my smile
Stained my soul with your sinister style
And all the while I wasn't built for you
I deserved a better life with a love so true
'Cause life's too 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 led me here, finished with you
Nothing left to do but to pack our past
Toss it out the door, soaking 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 on my cheeks
Or the holes inside of me
And maybe you understand but maybe you don't
Maybe I understand but maybe I won't baby
I know the sun ain't going down anytime soon
So I cover my eyes
Yeah, I cover my eyes
When I look at you
