Only Time Will Tell
Daniel DiCriscio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Insecurity
Is coming over me
What am I gonna do now
Tell me, what's a boy to do?

If I let you go
Will you come back to me?
If I let you know
Just how I feel inside, would you just play games with my mind?

Only Time Will Tell
Just how you feel about me
Only time will tell
Just open your heart and let me inside

I can handle the everyday
But sometimes love drives me crazy
My love for you
Is higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea

If I give you my heart
Would you play with it like a child's toy?

If I give you my whole heart
Promise you'd never do that
To this boy!

Only Time Will Tell
Just how you feel about me
Only time will tell
Just open your heart and let me inside

If I give you my heart
Would you play with it like a child's toy?

If I give you my whole heart
You'd never do that, to this boy!

Only Time Will Tell
Just how you feel about me




Only time will tell
Just open your heart and let me inside

The lyrics to Daniel DiCriscio's song "Only Time Will Tell" discuss the singer's feelings of insecurity in a budding romantic relationship. He is unsure how to proceed and wonders if he should let go of his partner and if she will come back to him if he does. He questions whether or not she will play games with his mind if he opens up about his feelings, and if giving her his heart will result in her treating it like a toy. The only solution, he realizes, is to wait and see what the future holds - only time will tell how she truly feels about him.


The lyrics capture the vulnerability and uncertainty that often accompany the beginning stages of a romantic relationship. The singer is struggling with his emotions and does not know how to proceed in a way that will lead to a successful, fulfilling partnership.
