"Veronica's Song" lyrics

Tear my heart out now and give it to you
You look so broken and alone
The world of colors, you're blue
And seein' shades of gray
But I'm seeing shades of you

If you could only see what I see
The way you light the room
When there's so much of this world
Your heart has never known
Tonight, you really shouldn't take it so bad

Stuck on the edge
Looking down, this is your time
This ain't the place to hold your head so low
Nobody here knows what they're doing
The ones that talk the most
Got it figured out the least
Just keep it cool and carry on

I know you don't want to promise
I know you don't want a line
I know you don't really mean it
When you say you're doing fine
Glow in the dark and light your own way
And always stand your ground
But do not go down quietly
And raise this place up to the sky

If you could only see what I see
The way you light the room
When there's so much of this world
Your heart has never known
Tonight, you really shouldn't take it so bad

Stuck on the edge
Looking down, this is your time
This ain't the place to hold your head so low
Nobody here knows what they're doing
The ones that talk the most
Got it figured out the least
Just keep it cool and carry on

And you know it's up to you
To get out of your own way
You are the music of your own time
And everything will be alright

When it's loaded and it's heavy on your mind
And none of this is what you wanted
When the shadows drown your screams in all these endless nights
You'll find the words that burn
Ignite the light
This is your time
This is your time now
You're on the edge, lookin' down, this is your time
I'll see you on the other side of everything you're going through
