The Promise

You..you looking at me
with grounds in your coffee
looking like disgust in everything
saying why...why did the sun have to rise

It's a drag, look what a scene
non-recognition, you know what I mean
pretending you don't know who you are
wiping the misty film from your mirror

Ya Time...
time can't stand still for everyone
soon you'll have to pay the piper
for all those pills and thrills

The earth so sound
it's deafening to your ears
the ground you walk on
wanting, calling you to come

Just five more minutes please
then I'll be sure to come
running just as fast as I can
today was supposed to be the last time

I promise, this I make to you
a better person, you know I'll try

But not until it's time
maybe tomorrow
will show me the way

Ya Time...
time can't stand still for everyone
soon you'll have to pay the piper
for all those pills and thrills

Too many years have come and gone
always breaking the promises
the ones to yourself that you can't keep

And is it no surprise
they all have come and gone
why do you hurt the very ones
that you've loved so very deep

Tired of all your lies
they decided to give up
who is that person looking back at
is this who I've really become

Just five more minutes please
then I'll be sure to come
running just as fast as I can
today was supposed to be the last time

I promise, this I make to you
a better person, you know I'll try

But not until it's time
maybe tomorrow
will show me the way

Ya Time...
time can't stand still for everyone
soon you'll have to pay the piper
for all those pills and thrills
