Shoelaces

I'm packing my bags and I'm tying my shoelaces tight I am ready to fly Burning the candle at both ends tonight I will gather the past in a pile Oh, don't tell me to go I know it's time, I know Oh, stop saying it slower I heard you the first time you spoke I'll strike the match There'll be beauty for ashes I promise you I'll let it burn I'll try to forget you so I won't regret you and still Can treasure the lessons I've learned Oh, don't tell me to go I know it's time, I know Oh, stop saying it slower I heard you the first time you spoke I didn't anticipate that you'd be the one to say we're through I wasn't ready for this I couldn't calculate your moves Now I need a moment to myself To gather my life from off these shelves Just give me some time Just a minute to find the door I promise I won't come back anymore Don't tell me to go I know it's time, I know Oh, stop saying it slower I heard you the first time you spoke Oh, don't tell me to go I know it's time, I know Oh, stop saying it slower I heard you the first time
