Time

"Just go to sleep, just go to sleep"

But I don't wanna have bad dreams

They're crawling up and down my sheets

Waiting for a chance to get me 

There are jars full of notes on my sister's desk

There are lumps in my throat and thorns in my chest

They give me a speech and say it's all for the best

But I wasn't listening for the rest

I'm lying here tearing down the visions in my mind

Of how it would be if we gave it some time

Maybe one day time will heal something, but not tonight

So now we just focus on staying alive

There's a note in my journal left by someone

It says that I helped her and she loves me so much

Well if you love me, then why did you run?

But it's not fair to ask that, so I just write it once

Sometimes I'm still crying in the corner of the tree house

Sitting next to you and wondering why

Gravity's merciless, hearts are confusing

And nothing stands the test of time

One day I hope you believe that you mean more to me

Than the hugs that you give and when you tell me I'm pretty

Maybe it'll hit you, maybe you'll see

You're a beautiful puzzle, and I love every piece
