Live Life

So you have filtered all you have heard, Then you shaded all that you had seen, How are you ever going to learn? All about what’s inside of me. You have made your judgement, Before I got to speak, Looks may be deceiving, Yet relying on rumours in life is so weak, I always figured you were better, To rise above the deception and the lies, It’s just too bad that you took a step back, When you should have moved forward and given life a try. There’s little chance for romance, I don’t see us in that light, Sometimes you need to take a chance, So life won’t pass you by, One day you could be left lonely, Sitting where you are, Your words have turned transparent, Yet you don’t even seem alarmed. My watch now it seems broken, Yet I can still tell you the time, It’s time to look in the mirror, See if you can read between those lines, Life passes quickly, There’s little time to waste, I hope that you don’t wake up, To find that your life has slipped away, I can see you have no time for any tears, Living in that self righteous pride, Try living with an open heart, For one day you could wake up being haunted by your own lies.
