I should have learned this by now.
You’re only an image in my head.
I could have figured this out.
You’re gonna be okay without my help.
I’m a grain in the hourglass of life.
Slip away before your eyes
So please tell me more about our fleeting youth.
I’m a name. I don’t want to be forced in;
Remembered for what I could have been.
I cage sucks most when you see straight out of it.
I should have learned this by now.
You’re only an image in my head.
I could have figured this out.
You’re gonna be okay without my help.
It’s peculiar we try to
Save the ones we lie to
Cos’ I’m not who I want to be right now.
I wish I could make friends out of clay.
They’d be insecure like me,
But I’d always be there for them
Cos they’d stand stationery
All I need is an understanding heart
That still gets me when I don’t .
When I don’t know where to start
And I try so hard.
Do I give up or start again?
And I try so hard.
