A Letter to Time - Livingston

I wrote this just to ask you when you'll let up on me
Cause I've been waiting years just for a chance to breathe
I close my eyes cause I don't notice moments lost when I can't see

Now I resent you for the creases in her smile I can't forget
And as her voice slipped away you came and went
Oh I began to doubt if I was worth her love at all

Then You made me run from
Things that I once loved
Praying for miracles
And then you fired the gun

Hoping I'd fall down
For what it's worth I still held on

Now you're shaking my self worth
You took that child away
You saw me at my worst

Now you're the only one here these days
But you're the one who caused that, anyway

So Dear Time
I hope
You'll find it inside your heart to let
Me cope
Forgive me for my anger, this is all
I've known
Just let me find my way back home

Cause waiting up on you is getting old

I found myself grasping for the pictures on the wall
Remembering those days where I felt ten feet tall
Indestructible youth ran its course until the day you came along

Nowadays I find peace
Inside
All the little victories throughout
These lines
The war it rages fiercely but I know
It's fine
Cause you still haven't taken all my pride

Then You made me run from
Things that I once loved
Praying for miracles
And then you fired the gun

Hoping I'd fall down
For what it's worth I still held on

Now you're shaking my self worth
You took that child away
You saw me at my worst

Now you're the only one here these days
But you're the one who caused that, anyway

So Dear Time
I hope
You'll find it inside your heart to let
Me cope
Forgive me for my anger, this is all
I've known
Just let me find my way back home

Cause waiting up on you is getting old

So Dear Time
I hope
You'll find it inside your heart to let
Me cope
Forgive me for my anger, this is all
I've known
Just let me find my way back home

Cause waiting up on you is getting old
