Analysis of It's Time
When will it be enough?
When will you let go?
You say that it's all fine
But your heart tells a story
That your face isn't willing to show
Is your happiness worth
All that you're going through
You need to ask yourself why you're allowing it
And most importantly, for whom?
I see a part of your soul die each time
Your flame dims a little more
You say that it will get better
But the truth screams deep down in your core
You allow it to poison your light
You let it steal your time
You watch it breakdown your ladder
Each and every time you're ready to climb
I know there is a lot at stake
I know there is a lot to lose
But between itself and your happiness
which one do you choose?
It's time to look in the mirror
It's time, to be honest, and true
It's time to make a decision
It's time to think about you
