Lift Your Eyes
Lana Del Rey · Other Songs - Lana Del Rey
That I had no chance at all
I can never be what you wanted
Should've let me know
That you're still thinking about us
Should've told me you was on it!
Sometimes I wonder why, why I even bother
Tryin' to pull you out, boy!
Should've let me know
I would lose you to the drink
Lift your eyes, lift your eyes
Just a little higher, just a little higher
Lift those eyes, look into mine
'Cause I can guide you, I can guide you
Lift those eyes, lift your eyes
I know that you're scared to death
Of running out of breath
But I can hold you, hold you
Should've let me know
That you worked around the clock
Could've tried a little harder, yeah
Should've let me know
That you were afraid to love me
Instead of looking like a liar
Sometimes I wonder why, why I even ask you
But I do
Lift your eyes, lift your eyes
Just a little higher, just a little higher
Lift those eyes, look into mine
'Cause I can guide you, I can guide you
Lift those eyes, lift your eyes
I know that you're scared to death
Of running out of breath
But I can hold you, hold you
