Big Smo - Cover My Eyes Lyrics






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
Cuz 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 in 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
n' all n while I wadden't built for you
I deserved a better life with a love so true
Cuz 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 n' 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 oh oh oh...

    [Intro]
    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

    [Verse 1]
    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 bruised from my so called past
    To left me with nothin' but wasted time
    That I should've invested into my own life

    [Chorus]
    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

  24. L.... B....

    Started this country rap journey with Mikel knight and haystack. Then I discovered jawja boys, jelly roll, and the lacs...just stuck with all of em. Have lots of meaning behind their songs

  25. J.... S....

    Beautiful song. My favorite part is Smo speaking in the beginning :some people can stay in your heart, but not in your life". That is such a profound statement in my life right now. So many people can relate to this terrible heartache all over the world. Haden sounds AMAZING on this! Great job guys! Love all your music!

  26. S.... R....

    Love this song

  27. F.... 1....

    smo,why did u quit being the smo we probulay all luve,the old smo

  28. A.... S....

    Tarheel Native here, and son of a bootlegger . I grew up on Hip Hop, and I can imagine the racist hate your going to get for mixing Black Rap & Country; which you probably already have, but you do you brotha, I'm digging your American Sound. Man, it just angers me so often when I hear what Darius Rucker went through, and probably still going through. But, it's all good; heaven isn't the only place that's integrated. May THE MOST HIGH always be with you, Peace!

  29. m.... ....

    My dad just said that this song is dedicated to my mom and I can see why.

  30. J.... J....

    This song hits right at home thanks brother keep up the work

  31. S.... S....

    this is like word for word what I went through with my ex, no longer will that bitch trample through my peacful mind. she's destroyed my faith in woman.

  32. s.... ....

    I remember when I was going away from my mom and this song played I was crying so bad and this song still gives me the tears I love u mom I'll see u one day

  33. A.... G....

    Not all wemon are like that

  34. R.... M....

    love this song hits the heart.

  35. s.... m....

    this song is perfect i am inlove with a man that i should not be and he is inlove with me when he should not be we both are married but i am going through a devoirce he is not what do we do i feel god put him in my life as me in his but it has to end......if its ment to be it will come together...

  36. D.... A....

    My husband walked out 3 years ago. No explanation, no reason I have yet to know, just walked out. But not before breaking me down, mentally, physically, spiritually, financially, every way anyone can be broken. When I feel sad, lonely, confused, I play this song and realize this says it ALL.

  37. G.... ....

    So true, how can you tell someone you love them and then move out the next day?

  38. J.... T....

    cover my eyes death doesn't phase me the thought of a painful death does, a being alone in pain knowing this will be the last struggle I make to try to make peace w GOD as I'm lieing helpless and in my worst way ever but then to feel the angels that have been telling me all along I've never been alone Jesus wanted you to co e down, down from the medicine down from the #@?: again down off the weed again up from the downers within and then, they cover my eyes take me home to that place I belong, that Mighty Kingdom, high on the skies, not in no pain the sky take me there to my home

  39. Y.... R....

    This has happened to me for the past 5 years with the same girl. Im starting to get to my breaking point.

  40. a.... C....

    that's right every time I listen to this I burst into tears I love you big smo =(

  41. J.... R....

    this song is exactly what just happend to me

  42. D.... H....

    Brandy Harris I never stopped caring about you . but now I don't know where heart is

  43. L.... L....

    women sure know how to destroy a mans heart. thanks big smo for these words of yours. they don't heal the bleeding wounds still open but it does give consolation that there is another who feels the same pain.

    L.... L....

    a woman doesn't fully understand that ; the Man
    has emotion that tears through his Heart , when he has that REAL LOVE and Want for his Special lady.. my ex showed and I knew he cared but he NEVER and I NEVER felt the Emotion - What the words of this song express..
    keep moving forward -
    thank you for my Reality Check..........

    L.... L....

    @Cyndy F beautiful words. Right on the money. Wish every female was given this gift to see in men's heart as you have. Thanks for the hope you just gave me that not all females are COLD hearted

  44. L.... L....

    women sure know how to destroy a mans heart. thanks big smo for these words of yours. they don't heal the bleeding wounds still open but it does give consolation that there is another who feels the same pain.

    L.... L....

    this song goes for either men or women. some people are just shitty

  45. R.... ....

    That's the way it was and still is. It's a bump bump bumpy road these days. My eyes are covered with shades must every day.

    R.... ....

    Richard Culbreth hears to ya cora

  46. c.... b....

    my life story

  47. T.... D....

    word for word..line for line ..like it was written about the 11 yrs I spent with the wrong woman gave my all but it was never good enough....

    T.... D....

    Todd Dahlem as the song says, you can have love for someone. But, if they're toxic, you just have to let them go. Another note: people will always judge your decisions. But, what matters most, is that you're doing what's best for you. Never forget that.

    T.... D....
