TIME IS SLIPPIN’ AWAY
EVERYTHING IS CHANGING
LOVE IS FADING
WHERE DID IT GO
IS THAT HOW IT IS
CAN YOU REALLY BE WITH ONE…
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
I USED TO THINK SO
BUT NOW…
I’M NOT SO SURE
WHY DON’T PEOPLE THINK
THINK BEFORE THE ACT
THEY DO THINGS THAT HURT, BAD
BUT THEN SAY THEY DIDN’T MEAN TOO
DOES ANYONE EVER NOTICE
NOTICE WHEN YOU’RE MAD THE TRUTH COMES OUT
YOU HOLD IT IN FOR SO LONG
THAN WHEN YOU BLOW, YOU LET IT ALL OUT
ALL OF US MEAN TO SAY THOSE THINGS
THOSE HURTFUL WORDS
THEN FOR SOME REASON WE TAKE THEM BACK
WHY WHY WHY
ARE WE AFRAID TO SAY WHAT’S ON OUR MINDS
WHEN WE KNOW IT TO BE HOW WE FEEL
WHY DON’T WE TALK ABOUT IT BEFORE THAT POINT
WHY DO WE LET IT BUILD UP?
IS ANYONE LISTENING
DOES ANYONE CARE
ARE WE THAT AFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH
DO WE REALLY HAVE TO HIDE OUR FEELINGS
WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO
WHAT GOOD COMES FROM IT
ALL WE DO IS HURT OURSELVES WHEN WE HOLD IT IN
AND THEN WE BLOW OUT, HURTING OURSELVES AGAIN
WHY DO WE DO THAT
ARE OURSELVES NOT AS IMPORTANT AS OTHERS
THAT’S WHY PEOPLE HAVE HIGH BLOOD AND STUFF
FROM STRESS BY KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT
WELL, I’M DONE I TELL YA
EITHER YOU LIKE ME OR YOU DON’T
EITHER WAY BE PREPARED FOR THE TRUTH
BECAUSE THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
