lyrics

With weighted grin she gives in to everyone
Losing face has just become her way to keep the peace
But in her mind she's terrified of everything
The very air shes breathing in thickening with angst
'Cus hanging on ain't easy when
It's already hell you're living in
What's left to cut as loss

Maybe now we ought to, ought to wisen up
And not wait on tomorrows
So maybe when were older we'll look on yesterdays
And know we've made a difference
With eyes a little kinder
With eyes a little kinder

Gave up hope there yesterday
Hauled up anchor sailed away
Left this place for good
Couldn't take the tug of war within without
Weight of holding on
The weight of living torn

Maybe now we ought to, ought to wisen up
And not wait on tomorrows
So maybe when were older we'll look on yesterdays
And know we've made a difference
With eyes a little kinder
With eyes a little kinder

I look back and I see her now
Loving arms just reaching out
To my darkness
I was close to losing grip
Emptiness consumed in it
Grasping for a meaning
Vying just to be seen
Seen and loved

Maybe now I ought to, ought to wisen up
And not wait on tomorrows
So maybe when I'm older I'll look on yesterdays
And know I've made a difference
With eyes a little kinder
With eyes a little kinder
With eyes a little kinder
With eyes a little kinder Oohhoh
With eyes a little kinder

Ooooh holding heaven close
With eyes a little kinder
Ooooh holding heaven close
With eyes a little kinder
Ooooh holding heaven close
With eyes a little kinder
Ooooh holding heaven close
From here on earth

With eyes a little kinder
Love a little louder
Lean a little closer
Love live on
From here on earth
With eyes a little kinder
Love a little louder
Lean a little closer
Love live on
From here on earth
Love live on

From here on earth
And beyond
