I used to pray I could turn back the stopwatch of time,nAvoid the sad mistakes I’ve made, avoid so much bad feeling.nI wish I could do it all again.nSo many things I’d change about the ways I find so appealing.nnSeems so easy for people to progress,nMove on from a dark sad past to the bright light.nBut I stay here trapped within darkness.nStrike a match to shine within- it just burns my pillow.nnAnd now I’ve made up my mind, I’m leaving today,nI’m changing my ways; these pleas to just stay don’t appeal any longer.nI’m well on my way; these boots need to stray; nNothing you can say will make me feel stronger,nNow I turned to say, “thanks for calling today!”nnAnother lonely tear fallen, from this weary eye,nAnother memory disappears, lost within my meaning.nCould never understand why I held your attention.nCan’t seem to shift the thought away of holding you so closely.nnWere they only lies? Those dreams, planted in my heart.nWere they fables or fantasies? Childhood dreams or fairytale?nAnd now I take a look at myself, shit, I’m no Prince Charming!nWhat right do I have to figure in your fairy princess dream?nnAnd now I’ve made up my mind, I’m leaving today,nI’m changing my ways; these pleas to just stay don’t appeal any longer.nI’m well on my way; these boots need to stray; nNothing you can say will make me feel stronger,nNow I turned to say, “thanks for calling today!”n nNeed to just hang up, forget what you said then.nShake that fragment of memory from this head, blustery!nnAnd now I’ve made up my mind, I’m leaving today,nI’m changing my ways; these pleas to just stay don’t appeal any longer.nnI’m well on my way; these boots need to stray; nNothing you can say will make me feel stronger,nNow I turned to say, “thanks for calling today!”
