Passing Me By

every time it seems like moments pass me by

its almost like its calling out to me saying its time to die

i dont wanna touch the sky

i dont wanna feel that way

im trying to make my time stop to say

ok this how u are

this will take u far

this will make u in to a star

so i just pick up a pen and pad and write a bar

but its just so hard

cause my life is scarred

i can see my hole world as if it was writin on a card

and my fate is sealed

i can never be healed

im just keeping my mind revealed

cause im looking through the distance of a field

trying to find my one and only shield

but its like times that pass me by

my mind is getting high

i lay here and im ready to die

and all i say now is goodbye
