Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You're down, all the way down
Can't shake the feelin'
You've tried, you learned how to hide
You've got your reasons
I bet you're full of regret
Sweet and bitter
Please consider
Sore eyes, what's up with that face?
Think we can trace these lines
Back to fine
I'm sure
You've been here before
Sore eyes
Such a sight to see
If I can bring that light
Back to your eyes to stay
What would you say?
(Instead of walking away)
No sign
Of roses and wine
But you've got my attention
No lines
I'm all out of rhymes
I just wanna hold ya
I bet, I'll make you forget
Love's not bitter
Reconsider
Sore eyes, what's up with that face?
Think we can trace these lines
Back to fine
I'm sure
You've been here before
Sore eyes
Such a sight to see
If I can bring that light
Back to your eyes to stay
What would you say?
(Ooh) Wipe away your sore eyes (Sore eyes)
(Ooh) Wipe away your sore eyes
You don't have to cry
Hey there, sore eyes
What's up with that face? (sore eyes)
Think we can trace these lines
Back to fine
I'm sure
You've been here before
Sore eyes
Such a sight to see (sore eyes)
If I can bring that light
Back to your eyes to stay
What would you say? (What would you say?)
What would you say? (What would you say?)
What would you say?
Whataya say?
