Let’s just pretend that things had worked out just like we had planned
Running through rain, we’re laughing, holding hands so tightly, damn
It’s cold and your spilling the deepest, darkest secrets
Holdin’ that breath, I know you want it, mean it, feel it
The risk is great, I didn’t really want to ever trouble
Can’t contemplate, her pretty eyes just got me seeing double
Is this for real, I can’t decide cause I’m afraid I’ll stumble
Time is fading, my thoughts will stutter, fly, and crash and fumble
I’ll thank my Dad; he was the one who taught me lies and secrets
Selling those drugs to get a house so we can sleep and eat, yeah
And to this day he says he never really meant to keep us
That life’s a bitch and there’s no need to give me a good reason
At 28, I’m writing all the people that have left me
These past ten years have pushed me to the brink and near the edge
Cause it hurts so much to see my Mom so sick and always struggling
She’s pure of heart, unlike that piece of shit, fucking douchebag husband
You hear me Fate, you hear me God, these tears just won’t stop runnin’
I can’t believe I need her voice, the future’s bright and stunnin’
Sharing her thoughts, hearing her laugh, I just might love my life
All of that pain, all of that sorrow – it was worth the strife

[instrumental break]

But the path’s not set, I’m laying out all the pieces of the puzzle
Echoes of haters causing nothing more but stress and trouble
Do they really think I will stay down every time after I fumble?
They all fear change, wanna’ stay the same, this world is one big rumble
Cause we’ve all been played, and we’ve all been had
Nothing more than lies and we’re so damn sad
But that time is done, gotta’ move along
Droppin’ all my fear, memories are done
And we won’t give up, and we will not stop
And the clock’s running, and we’ve lost a lot
Can’t deny my fate, and I know where I’m from
It was worth the wait, now my time has come
