Dear time,

148 9 4
                                    

Time, will you please stop
Pause for an hour or two
There is just so much I wanna do
I wanna live, wanna love, I wanna laugh.

But I am taught what I do today is at the cost of tomorrow
What could be the cause of greater sorrow
My life doesn't belong to me
I belong to a few years older me.

But if you pause I won't waste
What doesn't belong to me
I am tired of running
I wanna stop and look around.

I am chasing my dreams, catching a breath
Looking back upon the things I have left
They are gone I can't have them
They are lost I can't find them.

Will you just please stop
Pause for an hour or two
There is just so much I wanna do
I wanna live, wanna love, I wanna laugh.

I am sacrificing today for tomorrow,
Now for then
Him for 'the one' who I doubt is him!
Trying to change the unknown.

Time, I feel you grip,
It's controlling not consoling,
It's suffocating not liberating
Time, will you please stop for a bit..
