Behind These Eyes Lyrics

I remember my schooldays

I was young at heart

And I was so naïve

I came home crying everyday

The misunderstood one

The whipping boy

Of cruel childhood play

I felt so sorry for that kid

It took some time

To forget those days

It took some time

To erase that pain

Behind these eyes

The child still remains

I don't know why

I just can't let go

I've done my time

Made peace with yesterday

I don't understand it

The child's still in pain

Now I'm all grown up

And I realize the years just fade away

And I gotta let it go

But the stains on my heart

Make it hard

For me to look away

But I live on

It took some time

To forget those days

It took some time

To erase that pain

Behind these eyes

The child still remains

I don't know why

I just can't let go

I've done my time

Made peace with yesterday

I don't understand it

The child's still in pain

And the child lives on

And the child lives on

And the child lives on

Behind these eyes

The child still remains

I don't know why

I just can't let go

I've done my time

Made peace with yesterday

I don't understand it

The child's still in pain

The child's still in pain

The child's still in pain

The child's still in pain
