Love Takes Time lyrics

I had it all

But I let it slip away

Couldn't see 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 wanna be here

I don't wanna be here alone

Losing my mind

From this hollow in my heart

Suddenly I'm so incomplete

Lord, I'm needing you now

Tell me how to stop the rain

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 wanna be here

I don't wanna 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

'Cause love takes time

I don't wanna be there

I don't wanna be there alone
