LifeTime
Slam ft Tyrone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find myself, that choice I must make
To wander through the hands of all time
A vision of my life I must find
The time has come for me to depart
I'll leave the world a piece of my heart
Where I go you cannot follow
Girl you know I won't forget
All of those times we spent
No-one said that it would last
And girl I won't forget the past (x2)
Don't say you'll miss me, I won't believe
'Cause you laughed at me and all of my dreams
Well, now the laughs are at your expense
'Cause where I go my dreams all make sense
Girl you know I won't forget
All of those times we spent
No-one said that it would last
And girl I won't forget the past (x2)
Ohhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh Yeah yeah
I'll never forget, those times that we spent
I'll never, never, never forget all those times
Girl you know I won't forget
All of those times we spent
No-one said that it would last
And girl I won't forget the past (x2)

A journey is what I have to take
I must embark on a personal voyage to find my true self
To find myself, that choice I must make
It is my decision to search and discover who I really am
To wander through the hands of all time
I must traverse through all eras of life
A vision of my life I must find
I need to uncover my purpose and destiny
The time has come for me to depart
It's time for me to leave my current life behind
I'll leave the world a piece of my heart
I will leave a part of me in this world that I love
Where I go you cannot follow
My journey is personal and cannot be shared
If I'll be back, I really don't know
I am uncertain if I will ever return
Don't say you'll miss me, I won't believe
Your words of missing me are insincere and unbelievable
'Cause you laughed at me and all of my dreams
You ridiculed my aspirations and goals
Well, now the laughs are at your expense
The irony is now on you, as my dreams have become a reality
'Cause where I go my dreams all make sense
The place where I am going will bring clarity to my dreams
I'll never forget, those times that we spent
I will always remember the memories we shared
Girl you know I won't forget
My promise to you is that I will not forget
No-one said that it would last
Our time together was not expected to be permanent
And girl I won't forget the past
I will always remember our past, good or bad
