It’s flying past me
So fast I’m missing it all
And it’s so frustrating
I catch a glimpse of something
But it’s never enough to see

I’ve never been so scared
Not of tomorrow
But of what I’ve missed today
What I could’ve done
What I could’ve seen
What I could’ve been by now

And it’s the sickest most bitter feeling
When you’ve wasted all this time
But you don’t have the strength
Not to waste a whole lot more
Just wallowing in the loss
I’m grieving for life
Life lost

I don’t see how I still move
Still breathe
I haven’t slept
Because that would waste more
How little time have I got left?

And all this time I’m dying
Every day it’s closer
The hours seem like minutes now
And I just hope that as I get older
That the days get longer
One breath and it’s over
That’s how fast it seems to me

I spend half the night crying
I don’t know what else to do
I’m scared to speak
Scared to move
Almost scared to breathe
Just in case it’s my last
Just in case my times up
And maybe I hope its fast.

"And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
