Years and years

Years and years I watched her try
to be someone better than herself.
I said, why do you think you're not a flower
but only a weed in a deserted yard?

Wander as long as you need to find
peace or purpose in your heart and mind
maybe try and look another way
to help you figure out
what your life is about.

A clock doesn't know it's time
but it keeps ticking and ticking
we can't forget time like it forgets us
and I will always remember you
until you come back a new you.

Don't try to erase me
as you go searching for a new slate
you're aways going to be here,
your letters are written on my stone

I know you don't think you're coming back
you don't the colors I see yet
but don't lose everything you hate
love what I love, you can always hate...

So, I let her go.

Now, years and years still passing by
years and years, I haven't seen or heard her sigh
what I saw through my goggled eyes...
I wish I didn't let her go.
