dark times

Thirteen is hard enough

So busy growing up

Now you're sitting on a secret

No one knows

You see him after school

He barely looks at you

'Cause you're both afraid

That people might suppose

I'll see you in the mirror

When you're older

For now, just keep your head up

On your shoulders

Life goes too fast

Heart breaks in two

Tough times don't last

Tough people do

So wipe those tears

From your crying eyes

'Cause you only see the light shine

In dark times

Eighteen, you fall in love

You think you found the one

And he calls you up to say

There's someonе else

Feels like thе world's in flames

You give yourself the blame

'Cause the landing wasn't worth

How hard you fell

I'll see you in the mirror

When you're older

For now, just keep your head up

On your shoulders

Life goes too fast

Heart breaks in two

Tough times don't last

Tough people do

So wipe those tears

From your crying eyes

'Cause you only see the light shine

In dark times

In dark times

In dark times

We're twenty-seven now

Don't have it figured out

But at least no one can say

We haven't grown

Scars turn to memories

They keep us company

But it's nice to know

We're not in this alone

Life goes too fast

Heart breaks in two

Tough times don't last

Tough people do

So wipe those tears

From your crying eyes

'Cause you only see the light shine

You only see the light shine

In dark times
