Sixteen

Left when I was sixteen All bright eyed and excited Felt like I couldn’t stay no more And I really just wanted to see the world I thought it was the right thing Don’t get me wrong I’m flying My choices are looking brighter But so are my parents getting older I’m so scared I’m so worried Truth is: I’m a bit terrified that – I would wake up one day And try to turn back the hands of time I’m weak, tired, and angry All broken and exhausted Feels like I cannot think no more And I’m really just wanting to catch a break I thought it was the right thing Don’t get me wrong I’m flying My choices are looking brighter But so are my parents getting older She’s so scared She’s so worried – She’s a bit terrified she would wake up one day and try to turn the hands of time She’s been fighting for so long but no one ever came, now it’s time to drop the hands of time She’s a bit terrified now What to do ain’t so clear now Hope she wakes up one day now I’m so scared I’m so worried Truth is: I’m a bit terrified that – I would wake up one day And try to turn back the hands of time
