It Was Time

(앨범: Let's Love While We Can - 1980)

I never dreamed that it would be so easy
To see you finally walk
On out the door
But I'm tired of trying to make you smile
Living everyday on trial
Tired of always being the one
Who loved a little more

It was time for you to leave me
It was time
It was time
When you really get down to the bottom line
We never had the poetry
We just tried to make it rhyme
It was time that we were over
It was time

Now I know the emptiness I'm feeling
Is more for what we missed
Than what we had
Watching something dying slow
Can hurt much more than letting go
And even with the loneliness
You know I'm almost glad

It was time for you to leave me
It was time
It was time
When you really get down to the bottom line
We never had the poetry
We just tried to make it rhyme
It was time that we were over
It was time

I guess I wasn't right for you
And you weren't meant for me
And it doesn't pay to sell your soul
Just for company
It's better being lonely

It was time for you to leave me
It was time
It was time
When you really get down to the bottom line
We never had the poetry
We just tried to make it rhyme
It was time that we were over
It was time
