time is a thief

if I could be someone else

I would be you

as you glide through life

with your own point of view

as opposed to me

with my mistakes and my grief

and my days running out

time is a thief

I see you and I know

I have no idea of your problems

you move with such sureness

I don't know how you solved them

id you'd scratch my surface

you'd find pain underneath

with the years passing quickly

time is a thief

          you know,

          this has nothing to do with you

          it's all about dreams

          that never come true

so leave me with my envy

this living's so tough

when no matter what you do

it's just not good enough

life is only hard now

without any relief

life is a canvas

time is a thief
