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
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
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
And 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
