Time To Go
children's audio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now it's time to go to sleep my darlin'
Don't wait it won't be late I won't see you in the morning
It was too much for me to even take anymore
I don't know if I'm happy, am I happy, cuz I just can't tell

So what I fucked up
It's happened another one million times before
You left me, please don't forget me
Cuz I'm not the one that you took me for now

We shouldn't hold on to something that we don't have
It couldn't work out even if I wanted it to




It's over for good I don't have any say
Goodbye and so long it's been quite a ride
