Borrowed time...

I swore to myself I'd never post my own lyrics, poems or songs on the internet, but this time I think I should. Friday last week, a dear friend of mine's father passed away, after a long struggle against cancer. Last night inspiration hit me and I wrote this song, especially for her. Raffy - I Love you hun...

Borrowed time...

Standing Ovation 

This life I've created

I look back

and smile at those years

Body is Aching

This life that you're taking

has broken and reduced me to tears

We find him living on

Borrowed time

Teachers spread the word

Please don't make it hurt

Make it go away

Give me time

To try and say goodbye

and dry the tears from my eyes

and let him go...

I Try to keep breathing

suddenly I see him

Right here but so far away

Dark lines fall from me

while he's still above me

I pray for just one more excuse..

To keep him living on

Borrowed time

Can my thoughts be heard?

Will he keep his word

Make me understand.

Leaving behind

Belongings re-arranged

will it be the same?

I still wonder why...

I still wonder why...
