Days
Nothing ever stays the same
But still I search for someone to blame
I've lost a few loves, lost some close friends
Gained a few pounds and sharpened my ends
We thought we could spend forever this young
Bobby says chances of that are a million to one
There wont be any time to lose the first
Can't say any longer that being sixteen's the worst
I've learned through these short twenty years
The camoflauge in the size of our fears
There's still so much for me to learn
So why do I live in the past and burn?
This continuing cycle has shattered me into pieces
I just wish I was confident as she is
Instead of regretting all the time I had wasted
I may as well soak into it, indulge it, and taste it
No longer should I keep leaning back into what was
But it's so hard to control myself because
Of all the many promises I've kept for a handful of lives
And such little loyalty that has been practiced before my eyes
What is the point when there is no seriousness
No humor either, just business
"Whence come I and whither go I?"
Return my favor today for tomorrow we may die
