My Life In A Song

Don't know if it's killing me or making me stronger.  

These days, my days keep getting longer,

But I'm still getting nothing done.

What do I expect from life?

To keep up, just for one.

How can I move forward when this chapter's just begun?

I may not like who I've been

Straight from the beginning, all the way to the end.

The girl I dreamed I'd be...

Isn't exactly who I've become.

Now I'm trying to believe that

After all the rain will come the sun.

I'd rather feel the pain than be numb.

Don't know what to do so I write it all down.

No one to listen, so the sounds bounce around in my head.

And Despite what I've always said,

I won't ever stop wishin' on stars. 

If light can travel that far,

I can find faith and press on.

At least the world will hold something of me when I'm gone.

My life in a song.

On the rim of my eye rests a tear.

On my shoulder's the weight of the world.

Being grown up isnt half I thought it would be

When I was just a little girl.

All I know I've learned stumbling stubbornly.

And each day, I'm not who I used to be. 

When the tears fall,

they get wiped away by no one at all.

Stand on the edge of the ocean.

Might as well sail off the edge of the Earth.

Find perspective....

Find a moment to hold.

A place to find shelter when the house of cards folds.

You need a new directive.

Surely life can be at least some of what you expected.
