What Their Eyes Have Seen

It was 1995
She was tall and she was still alive
She was blond and oh she had makeup on her eyes
Didn't seem mad
Never got sad
We didn't know inside her mind
I could see pain in those blue eyes
I could see the hurt inside her life
Couldn't talk her off the ledge
It's too late now she's gone instead
We need just one more chance to change
Regret the things we didn't say

We don't know
What their eyes have seen
We can't tell
We don't know
The darkness in their soul

We don't know
What their eyes have seen
We can try
We can cry
But nothing brings back what's lost

Now it's 2016
She was pretty
She was a beauty queen
Posted lonely things and she showed her life online
Messaged me once
Late at night
She told me she was sad inside
Wanted to end it all that night
That's what's been weighing on her mind
I talked to her all night instead
Two days later she wound up dead
Depression overtook her thoughts
And in that moment she was lost

We don't know
What their eyes have seen
We can't tell
We don't know
The darkness in their soul

We don't know
What their eyes have seen
We can try
We can cry
But nothing brings back what's lost

Now it's 2019
I'm in bed these voices in my head
It feels like the worlds better off if I'm just dead instead
Terrible voices I have found
Felt this suffering all my life
All these tears
All these lies
All of these fears for all these years
No reason really to go on
Damn I'm wrong every reason is in this song
Be strong we can all be wrong
We all have reasons to go on

We don't know
What their eyes have seen
We can't tell
We don't know
The darkness in their soul

We don't know
What their eyes have seen
We can try
We can cry
But nothing brings back what's lost
