    The Spring's Almost Gone

    The sun beams down on the sidewalk
    Gathering warmth as the day marches on
    The people walk along its path every now and then
    Looking straight ahead, with no precautions
    I hear their foot falls, taping quietly
    The sound seeps into the room
    Through the cracks that are hidden in the window pane
    It's nice outside, perfect actually

    In my room I lay my head down on the pillow
    Trying to look out the window from far
    And watch as the wind blows the leaves around
    Scattering them this way and the other
    Thoughts course through me in jerking waves
    And as I exhale a deep sigh escapes my lips
    The spring is beauitul, so bright, so lively
    But my heart is empty except for a black cloud of confusion

    I just want it all to be over you know
    I want to say that I've made it through
    And to hear you say that you're proud of me
    But I know that's just utter nonsense
    because tomorrow, I'll be burnt by your letdowns
    Same as always
    And while I'm laughing through these tears
    I hope you know that I just want it all to be over

    Yet again, here I am lying in this stillness
    Feeling so sorry for myself that I drown in guilt
    I know what I have to do, but it's just so big
    The weight of it seems like it could destroy me easily
    I'll catch my breath in time before everything is gone,
    And I can't let this depression take over
    Surely not
    Still, those thoughts I try to push back keep appearing

    The spring is almost gone
    And I just want it all to be over you know
    I want to say that I've made it through
    And to hear you say that you're proud of me
    But I know that's just utter nonsense
    because tomorrow, I'll be burnt by your letdowns
    Same as always
    And while I'm laughing through these tears
    I hope you know that I just want it all to be over


    I lay my head down on the pillow
    Trying to look out the window from far
    And watch as the wind blows the leaves around
    Scattering them this way and that
    Thoughts course through me in jerking waves
    And as I exhale a deep sigh escapes my lips
    The spring is beauitul, so bright, so lively
    And my heart has become hopefull
    I set up, and get off the bed, that's so warm
    And I watch the spring, walking along the wind
    Setting the path for summer
