Time Passes By
Lisette Melendez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You won't believe me you'll think it's strange
We will try to tell what I feel
That I still need you after all the things i've done
It had to happen when I need a change
I couldn't keep my life standing still
And keep wondering how the world might seem on my own
And after all, yes I am ashamed
Cause i'm the only one you can blame
And I regret the day that I said
I don't need you

Time passes by and I cannot deny I still love you
No reason to pretend I lost a lover and friend, that much is true

And now my life without you is just not the same
Sometimes I dream that you're still with me
But when morning comes I'm alone if only you could see
I'm truly sorry cause I pushed you away
I didn't mean to hurt you but still
Now I'm faced with lonely days as each one comes along
And after all, yes I am ashamed
Cause i'm the only one you can blame
And I regret the day that I said
I don't need you

Time passes by and I cannot deny I still love you
No reason to pretend I lost a lover and friend, that much is true

Time passes by and I cannot deny I still love you
No reason to pretend I lost a lover and friend, that much is true

Time passes by and I cannot deny I still love you
No reason to pretend I lost a lover and friend, that much is true

Time passes by and I cannot deny I still love you
No reason to pretend I lost a lover and friend, that much is true

Time passes by and I cannot deny I still love you
No reason to pretend I lost a lover and friend, that much is true





Time passes by and I cannot deny I still love you
No reason to pretend I lost a lover and friend, that much is true
