lyrics

It’s time

It’s time to put this into words now
It’s real, regardless of the ‘don’t know why or how’
It’s scary when all you need is a bottle of wine
I’ve been running this whole time

Because the tears come, the minute I let it in
And it seems wrong to dwell on what could and should have been
So why not just move on, and be admired for my strenght
And when I feel hollow and empty; just keep everyone at arm’s length

I’m sorry that nothing you say helps
I’m sorry that once again I do this all by myself
I’m so angry, I can’t wrap my mind around it
It’s there all the time, and I can’t have that

It’s time to be honest and admit
There’s a reason why I turn to my old habits
It’s ‘cause it’s too much, and I don’t want to feel
Play hide and seek with myself, close my eyes then it’s not real

I’m sorry that nothing you say helps
I’m sorry that once again I do this all by myself
I’m so angry, I can’t wrap my mind around it
It’s there all the time, and I don’t need that

I can’t cry for something that I never really had
I’m stuck with this body that let me down so bad
It doesn’t seem right that I can’t fight, it was all gone in a heartbeat…

I’m sorry that nothing you say helps
I’m sorry that once again I do this all by myself
I’m so angry, I can’t wrap my mind around it
It’s there all the time, and I can’t have that

I cried when I put this into words
It’s time to face that it still hurts…
