[Verse 1] I had it all but I let it slip away Couldn't see I treated you wrong Now I wander around Feeling down and cold Trying to believe that you're gone [Chorus] Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind to let you go I can't escape the pain inside Because love takes time I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here alone [Verse 2] Losing my mind From this hollow in my heart Suddenly, I'm so incomplete Lord, I need you now Tell me how to stop the rain Tears are falling down endlessly [Chorus] Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind to let you go I can't escape the pain inside Because love takes time I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here alone [Bridge] You might say that it's over You might say that you don't care You might say you don't miss me You don't need me But I know that you do And I feel that you do, inside [Chorus] Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was so blind to let you go I can't escape the pain inside Because love takes time I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here alone
