Only Time
Matt Bloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I wonder what for
They seem to think that I′d be someone else instead
But I know I'm much more
Every mistake every inch I traveled
It took me so long to see
That every mile, it was never wasted
And I try, and I try, and I try to stop the hourglass
But I need to breathe
′Cause only time will tell
Yeah, only time can tell
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know that only
Time can heal
Can't let myself keep fading
Can't waste my lifetime waiting
It′s only time
So many choices have been going through my mind
Will it ever be free?
Sometimes the fear can make it hard to even try
Will I ever be me?
Every mistake every inch I traveled
It took me so long to see
That every mile, it was never wasted
It made me a better me
And I try, and I try, and I try to stop the hourglass
But I need to breathe
′Cause only time will tell
Yeah, only time can tell
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know that only
Time can heal
Can't let myself keep fading
Can′t waste my lifetime waiting
It's only time (it′s only time)
Only time will tell (time)
Only time will tell (time)
Only time will tell (time)
Time (time)
Only time will tell (time)
