Time somebody told me That I’d lost my flair That I couldn’t do it anymore Because I’d show how I feel I’d flip up my hair Complain all night Say it wasn’t fair That I’d rather be uptight Time somebody told me That my behavior needed to change That I’d never make it out there That I needed a target for which to aim Though all my arrows landed far off the range If only I’d listened This world can be so strange If only I’d payed attention to the stars when they glistened Time somebody told me Doors don’t permanently close If I just reach for the handle Maybe I’ll see As the door creaks open Maybe I’ll finally realize There’s never ending opportunity

Time somebody told me
I think she loves me, or at least tried to, considering I'm all she's got, but I think I hate her. It's awful that she forgives me for all the days I can't stand to look at her, and when I do ask for feedback, she only whispers kindness. It's okay, though, I won't leave her, or at least I'll try, considering she's all I've got, but once I forget, she'll leave. It's awful that I try to ignore all the reminders of her pain, but acknowledgment only seems to rekindle her spark.

Somewhere along the drive, the music stops The pain starts I really try, but can't think of anything good or of use The chills start I review my availability and make the appointment But the end is worse
