It's About Time

Standing at your doorstep

my finger on the bell

hesitant to press

I'm not exactly sure what comes next

what else is there to do

when you're beyond discovery

what more could I learn

when we've made every turn

so here I am

standing five feet

from my past two years

I thought I was strong when

it came to you

I thought I conquered my fears

we spent our days

quietly figuring out

how we work

we spent our time apart

wondering

what breaks each other's heart

and here I stand

at your door

here I am at the end of the world

I hesitate

knowing why I'm not here anymore

standing on your doorstep

without a word to say

take my finger off the doorbell

I have no reason to stay

you broke me

I ran

I'm back

so tell me

do you still remember my name?

then tell me who's to blame

here I stand at your door

my heart doesn't wait here anymore

I've been waiting for a reason

to walk away

I don't have one for myself

here I stand ten steps from your hall

where I once gave my all

when you answer the door

what do I say

let's do this another day

I'm on the doorstep

of all I used to be

the doorstep of all that's left of me

my finger on your bell

hesitant to press

waiting forever for the world to end

and it did, if you couldn't guess

I rang your doorbell

waiting for the moment of truth

will today of years be the first time

you see me

or will you look through me

just like you used to

open the door

"where have you been"

I've been waiting out here forever

It's about time you let me in
