right before my eyes

(album: i can't make this up - 2021)

You can run but you can't hide
When you look deep into my eyes
You can fall for the fake smile
But nobody's happy all the time
I've been run round in circles
Looking for something to blow my mind
Funny how life can trick ya
I always had what I was trying to find and

Sometimes I wonder if God judges us
For how much we judge others outside
Voices in my head always seem to echo
But you make them silent tonight

Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
I had you to hold me down
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
I had you to hold me down (Down-down-down-down)
(Down-down-down-down-down)

All things aside, I got bucks in my jeans
I got food on my plate, I got trust in my dreams
I know people can break you, don't bust at the seams
Why I say please and thank you when God intervenes
Fantasizing about shit that's in front of me
I gas me up when my mirror make fun of me
Turn my phone off, I see life as luxury
Watching my daughter eat food with no cutlery
Wonder why bad things happen to good peeps
Life don't always end up like the movies
I'm getting tired of pretending like you'll see
All I know

Sometimes I wonder if God judges us
For how much we judge others outside
Voices in my head always seem to echo
But you make them silent tonight

Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
I had you to hold me down
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
I had you to hold me down (Down-down-down-down)
(Down-down-down-down-down)
I had you to hold me down (Down-down-down-down)
(Down-down-down-down-down)
