A Letter to Time

I wrote this just to ask you when you'll let up on me 'Cause I've been waitin' years just for a chance to breathe I close my eyes 'cause I don't notice moments lost when I can't see Now I resent you for the creases in her smile I can't forget And as her voice slipped away, you came and went Oh, I began to doubt if I was worth her love at all Then you made me run from things that I once loved Praying for miracles and then you fired the gun Hopin' I'd fall down, for what it's worth, I still held on Now you're shakin' my self-worth You took that child away You saw me at my worst Now you're the only one here these days But you're the one who caused that anyway So, dear time, I hope You'll find it inside your heart to let me cope Forgive me for my anger, this is all I've known Just let me find my way back home 'Cause waitin' up on you is gettin' old I found myself graspin' for the pictures on the wall Rememberin' those days where I felt ten feet tall Indestructible youth ran its course until the day you came along Nowadays, I find peace inside All the little victories throughout these lines The war it rages fiercely, but I know it's fine 'Cause you still haven't taken all my pride Then you made me run from things that I once loved Praying for miracles and then you fired the gun Hopin' I'd fall down, for what it's worth, I still held on Now you're shakin' my self-worth You took that child away You saw me at my worst Now you're the only one here these days But you're the one who caused that anyway So, dear time, I hope You'll find it inside your heart to let me cope Forgive me for my anger, this is all I've known Just let me find my way back home 'Cause waitin' up on you is gettin' old Oh, whoa, oh-oh, oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, ah, oh-oh, oh-oh Oh, whoa, oh-oh, oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, ah, oh-oh, oh-oh So, dear time, I hope You'll find it inside your heart to let me cope Forgive me for my anger, this is all I've known Just let me find my way back home 'Cause waitin' up on you is gettin' old
