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 someone else

Feels like the 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 27 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 in dark times

You only see the light shine in dark times.
