Underneath Your Eyes Lyrics

She had a mile long stare

She sat beside me but she wasn't even there

Defeat reflected in her eyes

Success eluded her with a thousand futile tries

She started out like all the rest

Life gives you many lessons then you flunk the test

What does it mean to give up your dreams

There are thousands of roads

A million heavy loads

There is magic and wonder

But there's trouble down

Underneath your eyes

She had it all planned out

She lived her life like there wasn't any doubt

The plans had come by from afar

And they had told her she was gonna be a star

She didn't know that dreams are bought

And no one cared to ask her what she really thought

It's so clear to see

What you're expected to be

What you want for yourself

You save on a shelf

You trust them to tell you

What they hide from you is

Underneath your eyes

When did she learn

It's not what you earn

It counts what you keep

When pockets are deep

But if you can't find it

You can look for it

Underneath your eyes
