Precious

You stand collected, like you're waiting to die

But you're not saying, "Goodbye"

And time is fleeting

You felt regarded and now you feel discarded

But maybe that's exactly what you needed

Time to bite the hand that's feeding you those lies

And I won't be left here, lonely

Now, I'm getting better, surely, slowly

I could not sit still so long

I'm letting go of what feels wrong

I won't sit around and waste this precious

Time is just a man-made thing

Distracting us from everything

And I, I won't sit around and waste this precious life

No chance that I'll ever come around

I'm not ready to be old, I'm ready to feel

And now that veil is lifted and the writing's on the wall

Try to be honest with myself

I can't rely on someone else to hold my hand

And teach me things I'll never understand

And I won't be left here, lonely

Now, I'm getting better, surely, slowly

I could not sit still so long

I'm letting go of what feels wrong

And I, I won't sit around and waste this precious

Time is just a man-made thing

Distracting us from everything

And I, I won't sit around and waste this precious life

The sun goes down, the moon gets big

I'm layin' scared of what they think

The silence soothes the soul, the darkness keeps

Dream big, so you never learn to let yourself down

'Cause dreams can give you things that reality cannot

So, dream big and you'll never learn to let yourself down

If only, getting better, surely, slowly

I could not sit still so long

I'm letting go of what feels wrong

And I, I won't sit around and waste this precious

Time is just a man-made thing

Distracting us from everything

And I, I

I won't sit around and waste this precious life
