The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Sitting here stressing at 2:30am About how fast the year can go I wonder where it went If we start all over again, would it really work I know that you could be, could be, coming back to me Mesmerized, but of thoughts of fear Traumatized, I'm so scared to feel Want to stop thinking gotta get to sleep Gotta wake up fresh, get on my feet Push the thought of you away Do it today I'm older than my years Drowning in my tears Surrounded by the fear Since you went away, a year ago At Christmas You locked away your secrets Kept them away from me I only came to say goodbye, now you finally see You want to start all over again, make it work this time But I don't want to end up feeling far away from fine I memorized, what you said to me So surprised, it was hell to be So frustrated with the way we were Not a single word could make it work Now look at us today We blew it away I'm older than my years Drowning in my tears Surrounded by the fear Since you went away, a year ago At Christmas
