A Story Behind Blue Eyes

There is no excuse. Nothing to blame So I hide my tired eyes and exist in shame I'm ashamed to live, I'm afraid to die I find, I'm unworthy to look in the eye So I hang my head low And pretend I don't see I pretend not to know You recognize me I come across rude, it seems I don't care I run and take cover, the truth is, I'm scared I feel forced to unclothe Sacrificing my dignity Short comings exposed I resist, beg and plead So when you determine what you think of another Remember their journey has been like none other Though your pride will tell you lies There's always a story behind blue eyes
