Precious

You stand collected like you're waiting to die
 But you're not saying goodbye
 And time is fleeting
 You felt regarded and now you feel discarded
 But maybe that's exactly what you needed
 Time to bite the hand that's feeding you those lies
 And I won't be left here lonely
 Now I'm getting better surely slowly
 I could not sit still so long
 I'm letting go of what feels wrong
 And I won't sit around and waste this precious
 Time is just a man-made thing
 Distracting us from everything
 And I won't sit around and waste this precious life
 No chance that I'll ever come around
 I'm not ready to be old, I'm ready to feel
 And now that veil is lifted and the writings on the wall
 Try to be honest with myself
 I can't rely on someone else to hold my hand
 And teach me things I'll never understand
 And I won't be left here lonely
 Now I'm getting better surely slowly
 I could not sit still so long
 I'm letting go of what feels wrong
 And I won't sit around and waste this precious
 Time is just a man-made thing
 Distracting us from everything
 And I won't sit around and waste this precious life
 The sun goes down, the moon gets big
 I'm laying scared of what they think
 The silence soothes the soul, the darkness keeps
 Dream big so you never learn to let yourself down
 'Cause dreams can give you things that reality can not
 So dream big and you'll never learn to let yourself down
 If only, getting better surely slowly
 I could not sit still so long
 I'm letting go of what feels wrong
 And I won't sit around and waste this precious
 Time is just a man-made thing
 Distracting us from everything
 And I, I, won't sit around and waste this precious life
