Behind these Hazel Eyes

Kelly Clarkston: I've always enjoyed her music. I've enjoyed her in general. Her self-confidence, her ability to use real life experience in her lyrics, her ability to make herself vulnerable. I had a yoz date with an old friend today and this song came on the radio. The song lyrics split my heart in half, as I realized its meaning. Never thought about it before. And in between the delish yoz, great conversation, and laughs, I was brought back to my reality of confusion and heartbreak.

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on


Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes


I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
