Pride and Joy Lyrics

Time of day I can't recall
The kind of thing that takes its toll
Over years and over time
Over smiles and over wineAll in all it wasn't bad
All in all it wasn't good but I still careThat's the problem with the days
They're never long enough to say
What it is you never said?
All the books you never readI throw myself into the wind
Hoping somebody might pick me up and carry me againWhere are you now? Do you let me down?
Do you make me grieve for you?
Do I make you proud? Do you get me now?
Am I your pride and joy?I believe this to be true
There's nothing sacred, nothing new
No one tells you when its time
There are no warnings, only signsAnd you know that you're alone
You're not a child anymore but you're still scaredAll your mountains turn to rocks
All your oceans turn to drops
They are nothing like you thought

You can't be something you are notLife is not a looking glass
Don't get tangled in your past like I am learning not toWhere are you now? Do you let me down?
Do you make me grieve for you?
Do I make you proud? Do you get me now?
Am I your pride and joy?
