The Hours

You saw me falling

You heard me calling

I just couldn’t stop myself

From letting go now

He watched me turning

She felt me burning

They will turn their backs on me

You’ll never know how

I tried to tell you

I tried to tell you

I tried to tell you

But you didn’t listen

I’ll face the powers

I’ll count the hours

Life keeps pushing down on me

It won’t let me go now

Focus on the foreground

While we’re lost in the background

They’re all oblivious, you see

They’ll never know how

Drunk on the chaos

The world is at a new loss

They will close their eyes on me

I’m letting go now

I tried to tell you

I tried to tell you

I tried to tell you

But you didn’t listen

We tried to tell you

They tried to sell you

This apathy is not my tea

We’re letting go now

I’m letting go now
