I want to know how does it feel
Behind those eyes of blue
You've made your mistakes and now your heart aches
Behind those eyes of blue
People may say you've had your chance
And let it slip away
But hard as they try there's a dream that won't die
Behind those eyes of blue
Maybe once in a while there's a trace of a smile
Behind those eyes of blue
But it's painfully clear there's a river of tears
Behind those eyes of blue
You know life is too short
For compromising
Take a hold of your dream
And realize it
You know there's nothing left to stand in your way
Except yourself and I know
Though your heart's full of pain that a hope still remains
Behind those eyes of blue
