You say it's easy
And that the time will fly
And I believed you
For a little while
But then I realized
That you were wrong
The time wasn't short
It was really long
And as the days passed
It grew in my heart
This fear deep inside
Told me we'd be apart
At first it was weeks
That turned into months
But now all those months
Have turned into years
And over that time
The fear has grown
Until it became
Something well-known
I got used to the fear
With its gnaws and aches
And it got used to me
And there it stays
