Speechless

Locked up tight but holding the key
Clock keeps ticking like it's laughing at me
I wonder
What spell I'm under.

Days go by in a pulseless haze
Who's that person that's wearing my face
Denying
What he's hiding?

I can't go on like this
I won't let myself miss the rest of my life

When something's come and gone
What good is holding on?
Why waste tomorrow chasing yesterday?
I part my lips to speak
But the words are out of reach
I guess that really means
There's nothing left to say

I guess we could carry on living asleep
Who is the fool who could choose to just keep pretending
That this ain't ending?
I wish you all that I wish for myself
To have that ache of emptiness behind us
And not still inside us

We did the best we could
Just like we thought we should
But sometimes you've got to just let go

When something's come and gone
What good is holding on?
Why waste tomorrow chasing yesterday?
I part my lips to speak
But the words are out of reach
I guess that really means
There's nothing left to say

It's time to take that dare
There's still a world out there
Waiting for me
