Not Charles - dandelion

I'm scared of it all
Thought I was prepared for it all
But I'm not living
Now
See my reflection on the wall
The face is all blurred out
I don't recognise the person staring back
Please don't forget me
As I'm moving on
I promise I'm not gone
I'm not alive
But I'm not dead
Just a broken soul at a loss of it all
Pieced together with tape
I'm not alive
But I'm not dead
Please hold me close while I play pretend
Until I feel alive again
Every morning you resent me
But by the evening you accept me
So with my blinders on
Keep playing all your games until I'm let free
And I'm holding on
By a thread
But it won't be long until its gone
It's burning out from both ends 'till I'm coal
Please don't regret me
As you're moving on
I promise I'm not gone
I'm not alive
But I'm not dead
Just a broken soul at a loss of it all
Pieced together with tape
I'm not alive
But I'm not dead
Please hold me close while I play pretend
Until I feel alive again
Tiptoeing through the time
It's ticking on
Too busy being scared to live to love
No stopping to adore
It just goes
On and on and on and on and on
I'm holding on, I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I'm scared of it all
Thought I was prepared for it all
But I'm not living
Now
