“It’s only temporary” is what everyone would say to console me about my cancer diagnosis. It’s what I wanted to hear and it’s what I’d tell myself, whether I believed it or not. I used to think of it as a meaningless phrase, because no one really knows how long anything is going to last, be it happi...
[Verse 1]
So I've lost my way
Looking for a sign
Watch it slip away
The mystery of time
But now the quiet hours, stay a littler a longer
Til the darker days come and go again when they say
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll be fine again
Please, just
[Chorus]
Tell me it's only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary, no
Don’t try and hold me, if you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
[Verse 2]
So I've changed my mind
See it differently
On the other side
You're not listening to me
'Cause when the ropes all break
Nothing's gonna catch
With my hands untied
Is anything the same? just
[Chorus]
Tell me it's only temporary
When I’m here feeling ordinary, no
Don’t try and hold me, if you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it’s only temporary
[Bridge]
All the water is running
All the water is running
All the water is running out
Do you see that it's coming?
Do you see that it's coming?
Do you see that it's coming now?
Just
[Chorus]
Tell me it’s only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary, no
Don't try and hold me, if you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
