Pride and Joy

Over years and over time
over smiles and over wine
all in all it wasn't bad
all in all it wasn't good
but I still care
that's the problem with the days
they're never long enough to say
what it is you never said
all the books you never read
I throw myself into the wind hoping
somebody will pick me up
and carry me again

where are you now
I needed you
you let me down
do I make you proud
do you get me now
am I your pride

I believe this to be true
nothing sacred, nothing new
no one tells you when its time
there are no warnings, only signs
before you know it you're alone
you're not a child anymore
but you're still scared
all your mountains turn to rocks
all your oceans turn to drops
they are nothing like you thought
can't be something your not
life is not a looking glass
don't get tangled in your past
like I am learning not to

where are you now
I needed you
you let me down do
I make you proud
do you get me now
am I your pride
