Fading Pages
I'm staring at the clock on the wall
Waiting for the shadows to fall
They say that time is the only key
To lock the past and set me free
But it's holding me back from moving on
It takes time to get used to the pain
Of falling down and rising up again Yeah,
it takes time to grow up and see
The hard truths of
reality
(it takes time)
It takes time to look in the glass
And watch the childhood promises pass
To realize nobody holds your hand
When you're trying your best to stand
Because you feel like you're not enough
It takes time to know you might fly away
Leaving the places where you used to play Knowing you might never
see them again
Your home, your family,
your oldest friend
(never
again)
But it takes time to get used to the pain
Of falling down and rising up again Yeah,
it takes time to grow up and see
The hard truths of
reality (oh, it takes time)
It takes time... (mmmmm)
