Time will change,
But it wont change me,
Time can't love,
But it does love me.

When you sit there hoping,
Waiting for a chance,
You look in the mirror,
And with only one glance,
You find that misery,that aging inside,
We all can't help but wonder why.

When you look to the left,
There's always a mess,
Look to the right,
Here comes that fight.

The fight with life,
With family,
Yourself and time.

Just don't look back,
Get ready for that war,
Isn't that what we're here for?

Time's not with me,
It's against me at worst.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
