Time has taken its sweet time
And moves as it pleases

It makes the best moments short
And hard ones too long

It guarantees you
That you'll never have enough

But when I look back on it
I only see the wasted moments

I witness my regrets
And time simply goes on

It doesn't stop and wait
It just keeps its own agenda

Time doesn't care
How we choose to spend it

It just makes life fly by
It is the people that steal it from us

The end isn't what's terrifying
It's the fact that we've wasted it all

That you had no impact
On anything at all

It is the thought of being forgotten
And nobody missing you

It is leaving this world
With no trace of you being here

Time moves as it wants
You'll never have enough, dear

It doesn't matter who you effect
So long as you feel like you lived

There is nothing we can do
To stop the fact that we waste it

We live in haste and can't relive it
We can't go back

Time isn't stalling
But we watch from afar

A world turns rapidly
But we remain as we are

We don't fly off in to the fray
Or off in gentle breezes

As time continues to do
Whatever it pleases
