Lyrics

I look in the mirror and I see the years have changed me
Lines on my skin, worn out look in my eyes
I had a flame, I did my best to keep it burning
The fire is just coals now, the last memories of light

And I feel ashamed of growing older
I feel afraid time is passing me by
I’ve held to these dreams
But my dreams have grown colder
Can’t let them go, but are they ever gonna fly?

When I was young, I knew which road to travel
I felt something in me that was promising to shine
But life is a game, and it spits you out in pieces
The things that I’ve lost, I ain’t ever gonna find

And I feel ashamed of growing older
I feel afraid time is passing me by
I’ve held to these dreams
But my dreams have grown colder
Can’t let them go, but are they ever gonna fly?

I was raised to be gentle, I was raised to follow
Find me a good man and never leave his side
Darling, I don’t blame you for this place inside that’s hollow
But I can’t forgive you for just standing by

And I feel ashamed of growing older
I feel afraid time is passing me by
I’ve held to these dreams
But my dreams have grown colder
Can’t let them go, but are they ever gonna fly?
Can’t let them go, but are they ever gonna fly?
Can’t let them go, but are they ever gonna fly?
