Verse 1

Verse 1 You always told me I had your eyes Said it with a proud smile every time I’d run to you, so small, so free You said, “That’s my world looking back at me” I used to stare at them in the mirror light Tracing pieces of you in mine I loved them more with every year ‘Cause somehow it meant you were still here Pre-Chorus But I never knew what you could see Behind the glass you gave to me Chorus Does that mean I see the world through your view? Sad and heavy, painted blue Was it always breaking in ways I never knew? Was I looking through you? My world was color, gold and bright Dancing in your morning light But the day you left, the sky turned gray Now I truly have your eyes today Verse 2 I wish I asked you what you saw What made your shoulders carry it all Did you hide storms behind your smile? Were you tired all the while? Now I look out and everything’s changed Same old streets but they don’t feel the same I finally know what you meant back then When you’d just stare and not say when Pre-Chorus I see shadows where light used to be I think your eyes are teaching me Chorus Does that mean I see the world through your view? Sad and heavy, painted blue Was it always breaking in ways I never knew? Was I looking through you? My world was color, gold and bright Living in your borrowed light But the day you left, the sky turned gray Now I truly have your eyes today Bridge I don’t want the pain you had to hold I don’t want to feel that cold But you’re the only place I still belong So I’ll carry you along If I cry, is it you crying too? If I’m lost, am I lost like you? Final Chorus Does that mean I see the world through your view? Sad and heavy, painted blue But I swear I’ll find the light for you I’ll see it through My world was color, you were the light You were my morning, my night And even though you went away I still see you every day When I look through my eyes Outro You always told me I had your eyes I just didn’t know they held goodbye
