Diamond Eyes
Lexi Strate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get up in the morning,
the alcohol fades away.
When the night before,
becomes the morning after,
I just want to make you stay.

I keep telling myself, maybe you went out
to get me a cup of coffee,

maybe you got lost along the way,
I hate that I sit by the phone waiting for you to call me
baby, why can't you see, baby, why can't you see that

I can blow your mind with the love like mine,
light up every night
with my diamond eyes.
Running out of time,
before I find another you, you

So what does she have that I don't?
She reminds me of who I used to be.
Bet she hangs on every word you say,
she's beautiful, but I see the way you looking at me.

I can blow your mind with the love like mine,
light up every night
with my diamond eyes.
Running out of time,
before I find another you, you

Stuck in my head, cuz I-
I can't forget something-
Something so strong,
It can't be over yet.

I keep telling myself, maybe you went out
to get me a cup of coffee,
maybe you got lost along the way,
I hate that I sit by the phone waiting for you to call me
baby why can't you see, baby why can't you see that

I can blow your mind with the love like mine,
light up every night
with my diamond eyes.
Running out of time,
before I find another you, you

I can blow your mind with the love like mine,
light up every night
with my diamond eyes.

Running out of time,
before I find another you, you, you, you
