What Will Time Bring?


People say they'll be there for you.

But when I cry all night,

What can you really do?

 

People say they won't leave.

But with what I know,

How can I believe?

 

People tell me I'm not alone.

But as the blood drips out,

How am I not on my own?

 

People tell me they love me.

But every night I think,

How could it truly be?

 

People say so many things.

You only know what time brings.
