A Letter to Time

I wrote this just to ask you when you'll let up on me

'Cause I've been waiting 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 a 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 shaking 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's getting old

I found myself graspin' for the pictures on the wall

Rememberin' those days when 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 shaking 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's getting old

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's getting old
