Troubled Times

When you think you've found something worth holding on to

Were you reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you

Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans

Like she was returnable

One day would refill your hands

How she loved you, all you imagined

Fit so well into your plans

Maybe one day soon

It will all come out

How you dream about each other sometimes

With the memory of

How you once gave up

But you made it through the troubled times

Pining away every hour in your room

Rolling with the motion, waiting til it's opportune

Sitting there watching time fly past you

Why do tomorrow

What you could never do

How she loved you

All you imagined

Everything you put her through

Maybe one day soon

It will all come out

How you dream about each other sometimes

With the memory of

How you once gave up

But you made it through the troubled times

And it takes a lot of nerve to ask how she is doing

Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins

The ways the days and hours pass you'll never understand

Falling like rain through your hands

Maybe one day soon

It will all come out

How you dream about each other sometimes

With the memory of

How you once gave up

But you made it through the troubled times
