Time
Feelings overwhelm my body
I don’t know why
The reasons aren't exact
But as more and more days pass
These feelings grow and grow
They make me feel tired, drained and sapped
Sometimes it's sad, confused and down
The reasons aren’t exact
But as more and more hours pass
These feelings grow and grow
If I think about it
Real long and hard
I end up thinking things
I never really thought
And as more and more minutes pass
These feelings grow and grow
If I close my eyes
I can hear the silence
And that's when these feelings
Come up again
I feel exhausted, fatigued and spent
I try my best every day
To make those I love proud
But as more and more seconds pass
These feelings grow and grow
Although I do everything I can
It's not enough,
the reasons aren’t exact
And these feelings overwhelm my body.
