La Roux - Cover My Eyes Lyrics

Artist: La Roux

Album: La Roux

Genre: Pop

No wonder I'm scared to look in your eyes*
You've turned my away so many times
You can take it away at any given moment
It's hard to believe while you're in this disguise

So would you hold me please?
I'm trying hard to breath
I'm just surviving
So would you hold me please?
I'm trying hard to breath
Stop me from crying

When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
Every time you leave with her
Something inside of me dies

No wonder it hurts to sit by your side
(Turned me away so many times)
There's a different song I can play you tonight
(We don't have to sit here in silence)
We can break the pattern, we can change the color
(It's just a little sacrifice)
You don't need to worry about the others
(It's all in your mind)

So would you hold me please?
I'm trying hard to breath
I'm just surviving
So would you hold me please?
I'm trying hard to breath
Stop me from crying

When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
Every time you leave with her
Something inside of me dies (2x)
Something inside me dies

When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
(cover my eyes, cover my eyes, cover my eyes)
Every time you leave with her
Something inside of me dies
(My eyes) [Repeat (2x):]

    what a song.. my boyfriend left me yesterday because he's in love with me and another boy, and he doesn't want to hurt me by stringing me along. ironically enough La Roux is one of his favourite artists. :| I feel utterly heartbroken, and this song captures it perfectly.

    I heard this song once & fell in love with it. I feel as though I completely understand it too. It's so relateable for us girls, I think we've all been there before. We've had the ex-boyfriend that we still have feelings for and then we see him with another girl and it's just really hard to watch. And the part where she says "So would you hold me please
    I'm trying hard to breathe, I'm just surviving, So would you hold me please, I'm trying hard to breathe
    Stop me from crying" I felt like she took the words right out of my mouth. I've felt EXACTLY like that. She just wants to be held tightly and be consoled. It's just a sad song that dipicts a situation too many of us have had to endure.
