Jason Penna - Not My Time Lyrics

It was the first time that I realised life's not what it seems
It's a vicious game of chase your tail and everything in between
I gave it all and gave it life I gave myself and sacrificed
I took the chances most would envy and I ended up paying the price
If I could take my turn again I'd end up doing it all the same
I'd still end up in the gutter of self-pity, pain and shame
There ain't no way to save me now I've made my choice
And I've made it proud I'll keep the black dog off my back
And keep him in his cage
And it's not my time
And it's not my your life, your gonna share
Yeah it's not my time
I've made excuses that are fake, to break the promises
I've made to myself and to my dreams I've tried to procreate
Just when you think the stars align, just when you think
It is your time you need to take the ball
And kick it right through your tortured mind
I've learned to live with my mistakes
I've learned to mend a heart that breaks
And fight the never-ending battle that rages every day
If this war inside subsides and the demons they retire
I'll be a shell of a reflection in the mirror late at night
And it's not my time
And it's not my life, your gonna share
It's not my time, for you to be with me
And it's not my time
And it's not my life, your gonna share
It's not my time
So stand with me and raise your voice
Take your chances make your choice
If there is one thing that I've learned it's don't fake your way through life
There ain't no change without revolt, there ain't no questions you can't solve
If you think it's all too hard then why'd you break the mold
There is a reason that your here, there is a reason we evolved
You need to take that thought and stick it right in your mortal soul
Life's not going to give you roses, life is going to give you pain
And if you sit down in the gutter it'll kick you till in your insane
And it's not my time
And it's not my life, your gonna share
It's not my time, and it's not my time for you to be with me
It's not my time, for you to be with me
