Everyone makes choices |
|
But I can't say which is right |
|
And everyone makes promises |
|
And only meant to lie |
|
And I don't know what to do |
|
And I don't know just what to say anymore |
|
This is my life and times. |
|
Lying down in darkness |
|
with my ear against the door |
|
I closed my eyes and caught |
|
A fleeting glimpse and wanted more |
|
Of the life that struck my soul |
|
With feelings too great to ignore |
|
But this is my life and times. |
|
The seconds turn to days |
|
And now I'm older |
|
And I know it's time for me to start anew. |
|
But I buckle from the weight |
|
That's on my shoulders |
|
And I need someone to help me through. |
|
Daddy couldn't speak to me |
|
Before he ceased to live |
|
Although he held his hands to me |
|
My eyes could not forgive |
|
All the pain that they had seen |
|
And hoped my mind would not relive |
|
But this is my life and times. |
