Tick Tock
You’re forty and still alone
You sit there and wonder where this all went wrong
Living a lie and smiling through it
Cant hide the pain, you got used to it
Wearing a mask but honey nobody is fooled
Staring at the crumbled castle you once ruled
Oh how you wish the clock would turn
Oh how you wish you could set fire to the memories and watch them burn
Gave up seventeen years of your life for him
Now your view on life is so grim
Wishing and wishing upon a star
It’s too late your chance is gone
The clock still tick, ticks on
