time taught me
not to trust a soul
blame no one whenever I foul
how to cry in the dark
and smile in the sun
how to scream silently
live on pain
lay in the rain
that I am a stain
from me they refrain
time taught me
the cruelty of the world
how to hold back my word
walk alone in the alley
kill my feelings in the valley
bury them deep in the sea
now am cold
as pale as the blue moon
I'm dead inside
but I like it this way
Time taught me
how to live
