Saddened Eyes Lyrics

Everyone deals with stress

The remedy's based on what you do next

Every choice is us taking a guess

As we pray for the best, Hmm

People die without questions answered

Which makes me ask who sets the standard

We communicate but all I hear is banter

Over shit in life that shouldn't even matter

So many evil forces stay at work

Pride makes you look with hate and think the worst

A lack of love creates a state of hurt

It's a dark path you take a major turn

Disagreements make you trade some words

We fight everyday since our date of birth

Hoping when we meet our grave the pain was worth it

Tell that to the ones laid in the dirt

Strength isn't measured by picking up weights

Strength is showing that you're mentally safe

Our brains lie to us in menacing ways

Cause most things we think are meant be ain't

I can never trust a smile when somebody says they're okay

Cause behind that grin is heartache that's ingrained

I know this cause I feel the same

Hard to relate when it sounds cliche

But I'm grateful to live and see another day

Knowing some people can't take it

They make that decision there's no coming back from they say

Friends come and go, come and go

But to be honest separation I don't like the sound of

But how much can you afford to lose

When your friends are a danger to the ones around them, how come

I try to be the voice of reason

When they destroy their freedom

Like a poison feeding

Off their choices, lead them

Down a void of weakness

I avoid the seed this negativity sprouts from

Drop an album everybody moves away

I guess reality's a harder truth to face

If that's the case then I got news to break

Because I'm tired of trying to win a losing game, now what

Where did the time go, where did the time go

Is this all my fault, is this all my fault

I've been crossing that line slow, I've been crossing that line slow

I don't want to sign off, I don't want to sign off

Heard what they've been through, Heard what they've been through

I been standing by, I've been standing by

I've portrayed the truth, I've portrayed the truth

On behalf on mine, on behalf of mine

Just the same excuse, just the same excuse

I don't have the time, I don't have the time

I hope I stay with you, I hope I stay with you

Behind those saddened eyes, behind those saddened eyes

Heard what they've been through, Heard what they've been through

I been standing by, I've been standing by

I've portrayed the truth, I've portrayed the truth

On behalf on mine, on behalf of mine

Just the same excuse, just the same excuse

I don't have the time, I don't have the time

I hope I stay with you, I hope I stay with you

Behind those saddened eyes, behind those saddened eyes

Wrath is cruel

Anger is overwhelming

But who can stand before jealousy

Better is open rebuke than hidden love

Faithful are the wounds of a friend

Profuse are the kisses of an enemy

This was a year of change

But maybe it's for the best

This isn't goodbye

Remember
