little life they say!

Why can't I just go back to the golden time Just why, I don't want to make no crime I'm staring at the ceiling in the dead of night Searching for a flicker of that old sunlight They told me it's a little life, a simple way to be But all the struggle doubled is the only thing I see I'm looking at my state just to find a place for blame Casting stones at fate while I'm drowning in the rain Is it not a lot for just one soul to carry on? When the weight of every shadow stays until the dawn I walk the same pavement where we used to run so free Now the cracks beneath my feet are all that's left of me Why can't I just go back to the golden time? Just why, I don't want to make no crime I'm reaching for the pieces that my soul is missing through Because the only thing I know is that I belong near you Can we go back to the time when it was all okay? Before the colors faded into shades of dusty gray I know I was wrong and the silence proves it now I'd fix the broken promises if I only knew how I made my mistakes and I know you made yours too But the hollow in my chest is the exact shape of you It's a heavy kind of living when the joy has gone to seed And the hunger for the past is the only thing I feed I'm a ghost in my own kitchen, I'm a stranger in my skin Wondering if the heart can ever let the light back in It's a lot to take, yeah it's a lot to hold Watching every silver lining turn to tarnished gold I'm tired of the fight and I'm tired of the blame I just want to call out and hear you speak my name One more time, just one more time Why can't I just go back to the golden time? Just why, I don't want to make no crime I'm reaching for the pieces that my soul is missing through Because the only thing I know is that I belong near you Can we go back to the time when it was all okay? Before the colors faded into shades of dusty gray Near you is where I belong Even when the melody has left the song Just a little life, they said But it's a heavy world instead ~Vijaya✨
