VERSE 1
I used to walk in the rain
I used to play in the sun
I used to hide my pain
From everything and everyone
VERSE 2
I used to cry on my pillow
I used to scream at the sky
I was a weeping willow
And I used to wonder why
CHORUS 1
I feel like I've lived a thousand lifetimes
Yet I'm still afraid to let them go
You know my days
I wish they'd last forever
But my tomorrows would never come
VERSE 3
I used to work in my garden
That's where I hung out my clothes
I worked 'til my hands were hardened
Smelled the flowers 'til they stung my nose
VERSE 4
I used to play in the sand
Built my castles by the sea
They'd never be there in the morning
But that never seemed to bother me
CHORUS 1
VERSE 5
Now I just sit in my chair
I watch this world race by
I wear those flowers in my hair
And I never seem to wonder why
CHORUS 2
And I have lived a thousand lifetimes
And now it's time for me to let them go
You know your days can't last forever
'cause your tomorrows will never come
