Lyrics
Shoulda let me know that I had no chance at all
I could never be what you wanted
Shoulda let me know that you're still thinkin' about her
Shoulda told me you was on it
Sometimes I wonder why
Why I even bother try'na pull you out, boy
Shoulda 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
Runnin' out of breath
But I can hold you, hold you
Shoulda let me know that you worked around the clock
Could've tried to live harder, yeah-oh
Shoulda let me know, hey, are you afraid to love me?
Afraid of lookin' 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
You're runnin' out of breath
But I can hold you, hold you
