Lyrics
[verse]
Woke up this morning to another empty bed
Everything you promised playing back inside my head
Thought that we were solid, thought that we would last
Guess I was just living in the future of the past
[verse]
Seasons keep on changing but my heart stays the same
Stuck here in the ashes of a burned out flame
You said forever like you meant the words
Now forever's just a lie I can't unlearn
[chorus]
Behind these tired eyes there's a girl who used to shine
Behind these tired eyes I'm trying to redefine
What it means to trust again, what it means to feel
Behind these tired eyes I'm learning to be real
[verse]
Friends keep telling me that time will make it fade
But some mornings feel as heavy as the day
I put my armor on and face the world somehow
Even though inside I'm barely standing now
[chorus]
Behind these tired eyes there's a girl who used to shine
Behind these tired eyes I'm trying to redefine
What it means to trust again, what it means to feel
Behind these tired eyes I'm learning to be real
[bridge]
I won't break, I won't fall apart
Even with this hollow in my heart
Someday soon I'll find my footing back
Someday soon I'll get my shine on track
[chorus]
Behind these tired eyes there's a girl who used to shine
Behind these tired eyes I'm trying to redefine
What it means to trust again, what it means to feel
Behind these tired eyes I'm learning to be real
