I grew older

Just in years

Still a child

Playing at night

Morning came

I didn't care

Only wanted

My sweethearts there

Time was cruel

I didn't know

Thought it would lead

Where I could go

Now my years

Call out in pain

Now my soul

Screams my name

Lived through it all

So hard, so rough

Nothing left

To ease enough

Patience ran out

Soul gave in

Time bent me

Like I bent him

Time was cruel

I didn't know

Thought it would lead

Where I could go

Now my years

Call out in pain

Now my soul

Screams my name

Blame me, blame me

Oh my soul

I wasted time

Lost control

Time was cruel

Now I see

All those dreams

Weren't meant for me

My years are gone

Nothing remains

Just regret

And endless pain

Grown-up child

Lost in time

Playing still

But past my prime
