It's My Time
Drew-Vels Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new and
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true and

Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibies
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes

Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Line by Line Meaning

Don't know when I've been so blue
I'm feeling really sad and I don't know why

Don't know what's come over you
I don't understand why you've changed

You've found someone new and
You've started seeing someone else and

Don't it make my brown eyes blue
It's really hurting me and making me cry

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll eventually get over you when you leave

I'll just cry all night long
But for now I'll cry myself to sleep every night

Say it isn't true and
Please tell me that you didn't really find someone new and

Don't it make my brown eyes blue
That way I won't feel so sad and hurt

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
I don't want to know the truth, just lie to me

Give me no reasons, give me alibies
I don't want to hear your excuses, just make something up

Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Make me feel loved and protected, and don't make me cry anymore
