A Letter To Time

I wrote this just to ask you when you'll let up on me
'Cause I've been waitin' years just for a chance to breathe
I close my eyes 'cause I don't notice moments lost when I can't see
Now I resent you for the creases in her smile I can't forget
And as her voice slipped away, you came and went
Oh, I began to doubt if I was worth her love at all

Then you made me run from things that I once loved
Praying for miracles and then you fired the gun
Hopin' I'd fall down, for what it's worth, I still held on
Now you're shakin' my self-worth
You took that child away
You saw me at my worst
Now you're the only one here these days
But you're the one who caused that anyway

So, dear time, I hope
You'll find it inside your heart to let me cope
Forgive me for my anger, this is all I've known
Just let me find my way back home
'Cause waitin' up on you is gettin' old

I found myself graspin' for the pictures on the wall
Rememberin' those days where I felt ten feet tall
Indestructible youth ran its course until the day you came along
Nowadays, I find peace inside
All the little victories throughout these lines
The war it rages fiercely, but I know it's fine
'Cause you still haven't taken all my pride

Then you made me run from things that I once loved
Praying for miracles and then you fired the gun
Hopin' I'd fall down, for what it's worth, I still held on
Now you're shakin' my self-worth
You took that child away
You saw me at my worst
Now you're the only one here these days
But you're the one who caused that anyway

So, dear time, I hope
You'll find it inside your heart to let me cope
Forgive me for my anger, this is all I've known
Just let me find my way back home
'Cause waitin' up on you is gettin' old

Oh, whoa, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ah, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, whoa, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ah, oh-oh, oh-oh

So, dear time, I hope
You'll find it inside your heart to let me cope
Forgive me for my anger, this is all I've known
Just let me find my way back home
'Cause waitin' up on you is gettin' old
