Let Me Borrow Some Time


Let Me Borrow Some Time I can do that right? It's not an unreasonable request To relearn everything I've been taught the last 4 years To trust, to laugh To fall in love way too fast To know not to get up too quickly Or you forget why there are scabs on your knees And why you hate that harmless Taylor Swift song You will forget why you love your best friend Because she is always there for you You will forget why you learned guitar Because you had an unhealthy relationship with the Jonas Brothers You will forget why you learned French instead of Spanish Because you thought it would make you different You forgot why you wanted to be different Because that lend to strange looks You will forget why you stop talking in class Because that lead to this great phenomenon called bullying something society does not "tolerate" yet glorfies You will forget why you silenced yourself You will forget why you grew thick skin You will forget why you stopped pleasing others before you pleased yourself Because we does that ever make sense? You will forget why you love so strongly Because you never want to make anyone feel unwanted You will forget why you want forget any of these things at all
