My Time

Sometimes I don’t want to get up, and live this undeserving life I call mine
So often I hate myself and what I have become
I forgot the face of love, in the midst of a dark raging sea, and he’s coming after me
I am lost just trying to be found, bound to insecurities in my heart
my head’s crowded with the thought of when will this be my last day here
If I just, end it all,
throw it away, I think I’m falling apart
I’m losing my mind in the past
Why can’t I just, let it go?
I’m sorry I could never love you the way I wanted to
I can’t forgive myself for what I put you through
wouldn’t it be easier if I was gone? make myself disappear into the cold thin air,
how bad could it be?
If I just, end it all,
throw it away, I think I’m falling apart
I’m losing my mind in the past
Why can’t I just, let it go?

Sing to me my little songbird
It seems your days are gone
You are getting week and it shows
But hold on fast
Its hard for me to see you like this
cause it happened again
I thought we had it beat,
but I guess we’re wrong
Sing the sorrow away
Sing till you can no more
Sing just for me
I wanna hear you before you go
How fragile is this life
That you could go so quick
Right in front of my face
18 is far too young
Today is the day that you rest your head
I cannot find the words to say
as they lay you to bed, just down the block
Sing the sorrow away
Sing till you can no more
Sing just for me
I wanna hear you before you go
So I’ll hang my head and heart and think about what was lost
and I'll do my best to do what you did in all of us
Sing baby sing and let your wings go free
one last final time, I can’t believe you’re gone

I picked you up at 8 o clock on the dot
You came out in the open air without a care in the world
We drove away in the clear blue night
I loved the way we spoke , just me and you
But did you hear me say I love you
You said no, I said just go, but we wept
the whole night through, just me and you
Did you think about me did you think about you or the hell youre going to do
Time has taken a toll on us, as you can see
I don't know where the love went to but it wasn't to you
Did you think about me did you think about you or the hell you were going to do
Sorrow has been there for me, did you feel it to?
Cause I hoped you did
I said no, please don't go, but you left
Do you remember all those nights we spent, in the park, in the dark me and you, wasted days burn them away in the fire where we used to lay, just me and you
Did you think about me, did you think about you or the hell you were going to do

Hold On (Interlude)

Hold on, don’t let go, you are worth more than you could know
Its a new day, in a world of change
with all these thoughts and all of my pain
It’s half past 8 and you call me
you said I’m gonna end my life if you don’t come back to me
Rushing tears, fall down my face
I said there is no reason to take your life away
and you looked me in the eyes and said why don’t you try and stop me
We pulled up and you were there
with a .44 in your hair
and that was the last time I saw you standing,
oh God I just need some time, to figure this out

Change In Me
05:56

I have a war in my head, being fought
Don't know where it came from but it's falling apart
Good and evil line themselves, up at the battlefield
each ready to fight, each ready to cry
Oh whys it gotta be this way
Oh oh why can't I see the change in me
cause fears are trembling on each side of that line
and you don’t know where you don’t know where to hide
This field lies as, an open wasteland
These thoughts distort me, and put me out of my path
They will win nothing, in me
But now my mind is in ruins
Oh whys it gotta be this way
Oh oh why can't I see the change in me
cause fears are trembling on each side of that line
and you don’t know where, you don’t know where to hide
