Time

by Moe Elzubeir - Not entered

If I'm on my knees now
Will you beat me down?
If I reveal my weakness
Will you spare the violence?

I hear the violins play my song
And I just play along
No need to be stubborn
No need to act strong

Because you know
And she knows
There ain't nothing gonna change but time
And nothing's gonna change with time

The clock starts ticking
And you start thinking
Everything is just fine

Your heart starts pounding
And things start sounding
Like they'll change with time

Tight circles of friends
With no loose ends
What do you need love for?
Shouldn't ask for more

Can't live your life off of memories
Can't live your life off of fantasies
Put off that joint and break that bottle on the table
Not time to believe in being saved by an angel

For years and years
Feeding off of your tears
Time to defy your fears
Time to start right here

Because you know
As much as she knows
There is nothing that's gonna change but time
And darling, nothing's gonna change with time


Reason for writing:

    It's basically like me talking to myself, and looking myself in the mirror. Trying to convince myself that I don't need her, and I got a better life ahead. And that the whole situation will never change and there is no reason why I should base my whole life on it.
