lyrics

No two flowers grow the same.
And life will always change.
And all I feel these days is drained.
If you pass me on the street you won't recognize me, but that's okay because lately I don't know who I should be.

Everywhere I go everything looks so mundane.
I wonder if as time goes by I too will fade.
I close my mind to mask out what's not right.
You'll never know what you'll find escaping to the inside.

All I want to know is that it's okay to feel out of place.
And at the end of the day I know I'm fine with how I live my life.
I'm sometimes left behind. I'll keep my head up high.

It's exhausting always trying to be a light.
A flame can't be re-lit if there's nothing to ignite.
And all these words, you told me it's alright.
But that means nothing to me, I'll always doubt my life.

I can't change the past.
The ink has dried.
I can't wash it away.
But how I've tried.

It's always on my mind that time is not on my side.
