Father, no son

Now it’s time to make a change,
To go to sleep permanently,
I’m not young, my life flew by,
I’ve got nothing left to do

I missed out, I didn’t live
I didn’t find a girl to marry,
Now I’m old, and I know
I can’t be happy

I was once a hopeful man
But I didn’t make a plan
For all the details of my life
So I just went with the flow

But that was a mistake
Because I didn’t realize
My life was speeding by
Behind my back I didn’t know

And now it is too late
All the deadlines fast approaching
I am running out of time
And I’ve yet to even start

I have tried all I could think of
But none of it was working
Dating-apps and meetup-groups
All those things and even more

Now I’m all out of ideas so it’s
Time that I accept it
It is time to wind things down
And time to end the show

So I say, it’s time to go away
Yes I know, I have to go
