dark times Songtext
von Ben Platt

13 is hard enough
So busy growing up
Now, you′re sitting on a secret no one knows
You see him after school
He barely looks at you
'Cause you′re both afraid that people might suppose

I'll see you in the mirror when you're older
For now, just keep your head up on your shoulders

Life goes too fast
Heart breaks in two
Tough times don′t last
Tough people do
So, wipe those tears from your crying eyes
′Cause you only see the light shine in dark times


18, you fall in love
You think you found the one
And he calls you up to say there's someonе else
Feels like thе world′s in flames
You give yourself the blame
'Cause the landing wasn′t worth how hard you fell

I'll see you in the mirror when you′re older
For now, just keep your head up on your shoulders

Life goes too fast
Heart breaks in two
Tough times don't last
Tough people do
So, wipe those tears from your crying eyes
'Cause you only see the light shine in dark times
Oh, in dark times
Oh, in dark times

We′re 27 now
Don′t have it figured out
But, at least, no one can say we haven't grown
Scars turn to memories
They keep us company
But it′s nice to know we're not in this alone


Life goes too fast
Heart breaks in two
Tough times don′t last
Tough people do
So, wipe those tears from your crying eyes
'Cause you only see the light shine
You only see the light shine in dark times
