​dark times

[Verse 1]
13 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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll see you in the mirror when you're older
For now just keep your head up on your shoulders

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
18, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll see you in the mirror when you're older
For now just keep your head up on your shoulders

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, in dark times
Oh, in dark times

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
