lyrics

I won’t waste
The little time I have
And I wonder how we got here
It’s really not so bad
Because leaving is sad
But staying can be sadder
When you wake up and you don’t
Go for what you’re after
Because I wanna know
What makes you feel like living
It’s about time that you got something
When you’re so used to giving

And I remember what you said clear as can be
“Nothing feels real unless it’s right in front of me”

I went to school out there
But they don’t teach you that
When you let your life slip by
You can’t get it back
Because I’ve spent weeks
I’ve spent months
Years in my bed
If only I had a pill to get these voices
Out of my head
I know I’m worth it
I know I am
I’m getting good at that
When I look you in the eyes
And see everything I lack
It takes some time
It takes some love
To go out on your own
When I walk right through that door
I see
We'll make this house a home
It really hurts to see
Everyone getting older around me
