Lyrics:
You're down all the way down Can’t shake the feeling 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 or wine But you’ve got my attention No lines All out of rhymes I just wanna hold you
I bet I’ll make you forget Loves not bitter Reconsider
Chorus
Wipe away those sore eyes You don’t have to cry
Chorus
Brandon Heath, Matt Odmark , Steve Mason, Charlie Lowell, Dan Haseltine
Behind the Song: “Sore Eyes” is all about wanting to cheer up a girl. I mean, any guy loves the challenge of making a girl who is sad laugh, and to be her knight in shining armor. The thrill of this song is honestly that I wrote it with the guys in Jars of Clay. Jars of Clay’s debut album was the first Christian record that I owned, and I wore it out. I’m so thankful that they have become my friends, but I was really nervous going into write the first time with them, because we hadn’t yet done anything creative together. They’re gracious guys, but when you bring your A-game to the table, you hope that it matches up to what they do. I think the guys would agree that this song came very easily, and we had a great time writing it. The whole band joined in on this one too, including Jeremy Lutito and Gabe Ruschival.” - Brandon Heath
