Lily Byrd - Blue Eyes Lyrics

I've been living underground
I've been looking at the sky and seeing nothing
But a man holding me down
You came and asked me why I lived this way and suddenly
With clarity
I had no reason left to stay

And you took my hand
And you helped me up

Now I can feel the blue sky and your heart under my cheek
And I can see your blue eyes and your hands all over me
In the summer time
Before I have to leave

And I know we are just two circles spinning
Meeting whenever fate is in a funny mood
I know I'll see you soon
I know I will never hear the words you say to me
Silently
In the quiet of my room

At 6 you pushed me down
But you picked me up at the age of 22

And now I feel the blue skies and your heart under my cheek
And I can see your blue eyes and your hands all over me
And I'll miss you
But I have to leave

And I am always a step to comfort
I am always a ladder to something new
I am always a place to hide in
I am always supposed to mercy fools
And I have always been used
But not by you

And I can see the blue skies and your heart under my cheek
And I can feel those blue eyes and your hands all over me
And I'll miss you
I'll miss you
Those blue eyes
Because I have to leave
