I see my life is taking time away from me   Chains that bind the things I want to change   I can't break free   I told you so, now I can't let go   Of the things I've strived so hard to be      I'm afraid I've come too far   My changing life's been torn apart   But I won't give up on my dreams   I don't think I'll ever see   The things you wanted me to see   I only hope we can be friends - again      Pain, the pain I've felt is growing deep inside of me   I can't imagine what you wanted me to be   What if I fell down; would you pick me up   Would you be there taking stabs at me
