Christian Clark - The Riddle

Just a little bit of time
Is all I've got
So hold me closer, darling
There's a riddle that I wrote
About my life
I hope you can help me solve it
I laugh when I want to cry
I smile but I want to die
I never do the things I should
And the more you take
The more I leave behind
I'm a lock without a key
Got a heart but it doesn't beat
I was strong when I was younger
Now I'm older and I've grown weak
Not dead but I'm not alive
What am I
It's a puzzle never solved
A mystery
A question gone unanswered
Try to take it all in stride
It's all I want
But my stride has lost its pattern
I laugh when I want to cry
I smile but I want to die
I never do the things I should
And the more you take
The more I leave behind
I'm a lock without a key
Got a heart but it doesn't beat
I was strong when I was younger
Now I'm older and I've grown weak
Not dead but I'm not alive
What am I
I'm the thing that you buy but you never use
I'm the shadow in the sun that never catches you
I'm more useful when I'm broken
I speak lies but tell the truth
So write me down in your histories
Of never knowns
Of long agos
Of cold case files to be thrown away
I laugh when I want to cry
I smile but I want to die
I never do the things I should
And the more you take
The more I leave behind
I'm a lock without a key
Got a heart but it doesn't beat
I was strong when I was younger
Now I'm older and I've grown weak
Not dead but I'm not alive
What am I
What am I
