*start at 0:16 in*

Why did you have to leave me so soon?

We moved on too fast and I know that’s how life is

But honestly I never really understood the word or world

And I wish I could’ve taken my time to evolve and understand 

And 

The way we evolved was way too quick, 

to slow down was honestly just a trick

Went from point A to point Z and I wondered how and when in time we skipped the rest

*starts at 0:45*

It’s just that back in time when you were sixteen, Your family said that you’d go far, and the best thing in life for me 

was

to tug at your shirt sleeve while I was 3 foot 3

Looking up and watching your grin move across your 

face

*starts at 1:17*

Now I watch the days just pass me by and I think 

About those memories, the good old days for me 

And I know you highly detest those days so much

But I assure you were a hero to some

*starts abruptly at 1:32*

One 

*at 1:32*

Cuz I’m not getting any younger

*at 1:39*

And I know 

*at 1:40*

That I weigh the world down everyday 

*at 1:47* 

If I were to admit the way I’ve analyzed the way I’ve handled moving on from things like this for all my years

I fear you you’d be so scared of my psychotic tendencies and that you’d go 

again

*at 2:04*

And I really hope you’ll 

*at 2:07* 

Stay

*at 2:39* 

I know I said I’m not that little girl anymore

I know I thought that I’d move on but

You gave me hope at a weak period and 

I miss when the days were simpler

*at 2:50*

I understand that we can’t go back and

We had good times and now they’re through

But part of me always wished that you would drop your all things and travel back in time with me

*everyone at 3:02*

Cuz I’m not getting any younger

I know my heart swells for you every time

*at 3:12* 

If I were to admit the way I’ve analyzed the way I’ve handled moving on from things like this for all my years

I fear you you’d be so scared of my psychotic tendencies and that you’d go 

And that you’d leave 

And that you’d run

And that you’d hear

*at 3:30* 

Me out [drawn out]
