Fading Bright Eyes Dark - Scars On 45

I've tripped and I've stumbled through all of my life

Surrounded by promises I broke every time

There's no way I'm allowing my stupid mistakes

To stick around until I bend and break

Because yesterday can harbour my history

While tomorrow it shelters my dreams

And telling me I'm so insignificant means nothing to me

And I know I don't look like a movie star

But I've played every prominent part

In fading bright eyes so very dark

So very dark

Love can be deadly in the wrong kind of hands

From Sunset to Main Street you consumed the man I am

But the lines on my face are where the smiles have been

From memories locked inside of me

Because yesterday can harbour my history

While tomorrow it shelters my dreams

And telling me I'm so insignificant means nothing to me

And I know I don't look like a movie star

But I've played every prominent part

In fading bright eyes so very dark

In fading her bright eyes so very dark

This is all I can say

Everyone knows that we stand in the past

Too afraid to speak up and say

Please spare me a lifetime of old photographs

A thousand words spoke without weight

If the years of frustration distort what you see

It's harder and harder to leave

It will never be too late to be

What you could have been

Don't spend your day feeling sorry don't be sorry

Oh

Yesterday is nothing but history

Oh

And tomorrow it will shelter our dreams

Oh

Yesterday is nothing but history

Oh

And tomorrow it will shelter our dreams
