Time Will Tell

Verse 1:

Hands in my pockets, with my eyes on my shoes

Never imagined it would come to this for me and you

Isn't it crazy how a summer can change so much?

From the familiar craving for your touch

to thinking maybe it was all just a crutch

And no one ever wants to be alone

We dreamed of the future

when what I wound up being was just another stepping stone

 

Chorus:

Well I am growing up 

and I am moving on

and the choice is mine

to fill the rest of this half empty cup

I just need to to turn myself around

but until then I will lay here without a sound

I am just a boy who's lost, hoping to be found

 

 

Verse 2:

I'm only twenty

I should'nt be feeling this tired

I have scars a plenty

and the need to be desired

If I could do one thing

it would be to take my own advice

but I just can't and I won't

I always tend to think twice

and that is just two times to many

I fail most at helping myself

and I always wind up back on the shelf

 

Bridge:

I'm a coward and I know this to be true

My flaws are many

but I am taking a step at a time to make it through

all of the bullshit and all of the lonely nights

but if I hang on for tomorrow maybe I'll be alright

Maybe I'll be alright

I tell myself it gets better

yeah,  it will get better

but when will that be?

I guess only time will tell

time will tell
