Clock on the Wall

He tears her down with his words

Every hour of every day

And she can't remember who she was

The girl of yesterday

For years and years now, she has wanted

Wanted to walk away

For so long now, she's been waiting

And praying for him to change

But the only thing changing is that clock on the wall

And she's not getting any younger, that's for sure

She knows if she can't bear the thought

That life will always be this way

When time changes nothing

It's time for a change

She packs her bags for the last time

She's going away, going back to who she was

The girl of yesterday

In her heart, she knows she never should have stayed

She won't stop loving him today

But she's leaving him here today

And though he promises to change

She knows, she knows

The only thing changing is that clock on the wall

And she's not getting any younger, that's for sure

She knows if she can't bear the thought

That life will always be this way

When time changes nothing

It's time for a change

She drives around for a while, and wipes away the tears

And on the edge of town, she turns the car around

Like she did last year

And the only thing changing is that clock on the wall
