I had it all

But I let it slip away

Couldn't see that I treated you wrong

Now I wander around

Feeling down and cold

Trying to believe that you're gone

Love takes time

To heal when you're hurting so much

Couldn't see that I was blind

To let you go

I can't escape the pain

Inside

'Cause love takes time

I don't want to be here

I don't want to be here alone

I'm losing my mind

From this hollow in my heart oh yeah

Suddenly I'm so incomplete

Lord I'm needing you now

Won't you tell me how to stop the rain

My tears are falling down endlessly

Love takes time

To heal when you're hurting so much

Couldn't see that I was blind

To let you go

I can't escape the pain

Inside

'Cause love takes time

And I don't want to be here

I don't want to be here alone

You might say that it's over

You might say that you don't care

You might say you don't miss me

You don't need me

But I know that you do and I feel that you do

Inside

Love takes time

To heal when you're hurting so much

Couldn't see that I I was so blind

To let you go

I can't escape the pain

Inside

Because love takes time yeah

I don't want to be there

I don't want to be there alone
