It takes more time than I’ve ever had,
Drains the life from me,
Makes me want to forget,
As young as I was,
I felt older back then,
More disciplined,
Stronger and certain,
But I was scared to death of eternity,
I was saved by grace,
But destroyed by naivety,
And I lied to myself,
And said it was for the best,

And now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
I’ve disregarded what I was,
Now that I’m older,
And I know much more than I did back then,
But the more I learn,
The more I can’t understand,
And I’ve become content with this life that I lead,
Where I drink to much and don’t believe in much of anything,
And I lie to myself,
And say it’s for the best,We’re moving forward,
But holding ourselves back,
And we’re waiting on something that will never come,

We’re moving forward,
But holding ourselves back,
And we’re waiting on something that will never come,

We’re moving forward,
But holding ourselves back,
And we’re waiting on something that will never come.

I don’t want pity. I don’t want sympathy. I’m not pleading for anything. So please don’t glare at me with those eyes like I’m a crying 5-year-old, those eyes of pity. I’m very capable of handling the responsibilities and consequences of every choice I make. Don’t ask me how I’m doing as if I’m the one going through tough times. Just BE with me, with the relationship that I individually have with you. Just be FRIENDS with me, apart from everything else. Let’s just live our short lives, knowing that we’re doing everything we can to keep laughing, to keep our souls young, and to enjoy every bit of it as we intend to.

Sometimes death is right around the corner and we don’t even know it. We HAVE to live our lives to the fullest.
