Dark Times lyrics

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.

Oh, in dark times.

Oh, 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.
