It's Time
I’ve stayed here too long
It’s time to be strong
No more excuses
It’s time to move on
But strong I don’t feel
This is all so unreal
It’s like walking in dreams
This holds no appeal
Got to keep believing
That I’m not leaving
Her memory behind
It’s that I’m still grieving
I keep thinking of her
The way that things were
Since she’s been gone
It’s all been a blur
How could I do this
When so much I still miss
I’d give all my days
For just one more kiss
Why can’t I go back
To where life was on track
Before it all changed
And faded to black
Back before that day
And back to the way
That life was before
She was taken away
I feel such guilt
Leaving life that we built
But that life is gone now
Covered over in silt
It feels so alone
Stepping into unknown
Without her to help me
I’m out on my own
Don’t know where I’ll land
But on two feet I’ll stand
This isn’t even close
To what we had planned
Move on I must
Kick off the dust
Just find a way
Back to her I trust
It’s time.
