It takes more time than I've ever had,
C e
Drains the life from me,
d g
Makes me want to forget,
C e
As young as I was,
d g
I felt older back then,
C e
More disciplined,
d g
Stronger and certain,
C e
But I was scared to death of eternity,
d
I was saved by grace,
g
But destroyed by naivety,
C e d g
And I lied to myself,
C e d g
And said it was for the best,
C e d g
And now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
C e
I've disregarded what I was,
d g
Now that I'm older,
C e d g
And I know much more than I did back then,
C e
But the more I learn,
d g
The more I can't understand,
C e
And I've become content with this life that I lead,
d g
Where I drink to much and don't believe in much of anything,
C e d g
And I lie to myself,
C e d g
And say it's for the best,
C
We're moving forward,
e
But holding ourselves back,
d g
And we're waiting on something that will never come,
