I wrote this just to ask you when you'll let up on me
Cause I've been waiting years just for a chance to breathe
I close my eyes cause I don't notice moments lost when I can't see
Now I resent you for the creases in her smile I can't forget

And as her voice slipped away you came and went
Oh, I began to doubt If I was worth her love at all
Then you made me run from things that I once loved
Praying for miracles and then you fired the gun

Hoping I'd fall down for what it's worth I still held on
Now you're shaking my self worth
You took that child away
You saw me at my worst

Now you're the only one here these days
But you're the one who caused that, anyway
So dear time, I hope
You'll find it inside your heart to let me cope

Forgive me for my anger, this is all I've known
Just let me find my way back home
Cause waiting up on you is getting old
I found myself grasping for the pictures on the wall

Remembering those days where I felt ten feet tall
Indestructible youth ran its course until the day you came along
Nowadays I find peace inside
All the little victories throughout these lines

The war it rages fiercely but I know It's fine
Cause you still haven't taken all my pride
Then you made me run from things that I once loved
Praying for miracles and then you fired the gun

Hoping I'd fall down for what it's worth I still held on
Now you're shaking my self worth
You took that child away
You saw me at my worst

Now you're the only one here these days
But you're the one who caused that, anyway
So dear time, I hope
You'll find it inside your heart to let me cope

Forgive me for my anger, this is all I've known
Just let me find my way back home
Cause waiting up on you is getting old
Ohh, ohhh
So dear time, I hope

You'll find it inside your heart to let me cope
Forgive me for my anger, this is all I've known
Just let me find my way back home
Cause waiting up on you is getting old
