I held something together once
And I'd like to think that I could do it again
The standard's set in stone
But the tune's so different in my head
So here's to all who thought they'd heard the end
They appear indifferent to the outcome
But things are different when you peer inside
These mindsets laced with envy only self-destruct in time
I hope there's enough for me to reset mine
They say it's a funny time in life
But after a few tries
They know I'll get it right
But these days
Time's not on my side
