give me time to find my peace

the peace i lost when i found you

you were the best

the worst

the only part of me that mattered

i know it’s my fault

can’t be undone

but i want to pretend

for one moment more

pretend you’re mine

pretend you care

pretend that in the morning you’ll still be there

i just need time to find the peace i’m missing

i gave you a piece of my heart

now i need back my peace of mind

give me time

i swear to let go

but give me time

to let go of you and take hold of my heart

now i know

you’re not my path

you’re not my future

i’m the one that matters

can’t worry about you for one more day

but i know you’ll be alright

i know you’ll be ok

you were mine for a moment

for one brief second

and though it was an eternity,

it will never be enough

it’s time to turn the page

start anew

move away

start a new life

start a life where i’m alone

where i know myself

where i accept myself

where i love myself

give me time to find my peace

i gave you my heart

now it’s shattered on the floor

but i’ll pick myself up

like i’ve done a thousands time before

so take my heart

break it again and again

whatever it takes to ease your pain

do what you must to make yourself whole

then i’ll pick myself up

dust myself off

and begin to move on with my life

all i need from you

is

time

before i go

i want you to know

i’m sorry for fighting

i’m sorry for screaming

i’m sorry for shouting

today

yesterday

the days before

the actions that brought us here

are not your fault

i know

but do you know?

Just give me time

time

time

time to find my peace

i’ll find my heart

and i’ll walk away

away

away

away into the dark night

you’ll never hear from me again

i’ll become a memory

and eventually i’ll fade away

eventually you’ll forget

and i’ll never have existed at all

while you will forget

i don’t think i can

i’ll never forget

but i’ll learn to move on

because it’s all thanks to you

that i learned to be strong
