Part of It - Johanna Warren

Come here and tell me the truth

Even if it’s a lie

I know there’s a part of you

That doesn’t need to be told why

I know you don’t have time

To give me the time of day

So give me the reason why you like it

When I chase after you when you run away

I know you don’t know what the hell you want

That much you’ve made abundantly clear

But doing whatever the hell you want out there

Unfortunately affects me in here

So I light a cigarette

Even though I quit

'Cause somehow it brings me closer to you

At least that’s a part of it

I don’t know what you’re waiting for, darling

The door is open, why don’t you just move forward?

Don’t look at me like I’m the one holding you back

And I won’t look at you like you have something I lack

'Cause this is a time for me

Everything else can wait

Whatever is meant to be will be

And everything else can fall away

If freedom is what you want, my friend

You already have it

Go sow your wild oats, I guess

And tell me how that goes

But what are you gonna do

When you’re, say, 64

And there’s no one to constantly tell you

How amazing you are?

Maybe then you’ll look back

And realize what you had

Or maybe by then we’ll both be at a point

Where we can look back and laugh
