Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You thought you'd thrown your life away
Neglect's abuse in its own way
You haven't come this far
To end up who you are
[Verse 2]
Dark days and you came face to face
Your dreams, they ran in second place
There's life outside that door
Old fear kills slow but sure
[Chorus]
And time won't wait for you to make
Decisions that lurk in the dark
While breaking each other's hearts
And we're just getting older
[Verse 3]
You hear that voice inside your head
Don't drown out what is being said
So blue yet seeing red
Alive yet feeling dead
[Chorus]
And time won't wait for you to make
Decisions that lurk in the dark
While breaking each other's hearts
And we're just getting older
[Bridge]
Always giving, never taking
Seems you walk through days just faking
Pretending everything will be okay
[Verse 4]
You're no mere chauffeur, cook, or maid
A force of nature unafraid
Cold stares from so-called friends
Made through a broken lens
[Chorus]
And time won't wait for you to make
Decisions that lurk in the dark
While breaking each other's hearts
It's time to make a new start
And we're just getting older
