Why do you hide yourself from the world?
There’s a lot for you out there my girl.
You’re so beautiful and talented
And anyone who denies this isn’t worth a shit
Of your precious time here on Earth.
But you wake to feel pain in your chest.
Your mind is hazy, eyes blood red
Why don’t you just go back to bed?
Maybe this new day comes to bring unknown
Maybe time can bring crowns to your throne.
Either way I will try.
And all I know,
Is that we’ve got a lot of growing to be old
And all I see as far as difference goes between you and me,
Is that I will try
Why do you hide yourself from the world?
There’s a lot out there for you my girl.
Is there something on you mind?
Are you done with this space and time?
Is there something we all should know?
Is it simply your time to go?
Maybe this new day comes to bring unknown,
Maybe time can bring crowns to you throne/
All I know,
Is that we’ve got a lot of growing to be old,
The difference between you and me is our willingness to see
That Life’s not so bad.
All I know, is that you wanted so much more,
Than this life could provide
So you took matters into in your own hands
And decided to fly.
All I know, is that you’re meant for so much more,
Than all thee rising tides.
So you took what’s rightfully yours,
And simply kissed this Life goodbye.
I’ve kissed my love goodbye.
All I know is that we’ve got a lot of growing to be old.
