pride and joy
brandi carlile
time of day i can't recall
the kind of thing that takes its toll. 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 might pick me up
and carry me again. where are you now?
do you make me grieve for you?
i believe this to be true
nothing new. no one tells you when its time. there are no warnings
only signs. then you know that 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;
you can't be something you are not. life is not a looking glass. don't get tangled in your past
like i am learning not to. where are you now?
do you make me grieve for you?
