Given Time [2024/09/24] [Verse] You were lost in a storm, lost from thought when you became lost in 'Their' eyes. A babe in the woods when you two met and you couldn't see how often 'They' lied. [Verse repeats] 'They' were a dark light, as transparent as night and for you wickedly good. A gold mine, you thought, well, until 'They' were caught and cut you out like dead wood. [Pre-Chorus] You're so sure your life is over, uncertain about what you might find. [Chorus] Given time, even mountains will erode. Given time, the stone will wear away. Given time, broken hearts will recover. Given time, you'll be glad 'They' didn't stay. [Break] [Verse] To you, 'They' were that one in a million. You believed 'Them' a priceless gem. You only saw 'Them' and 'Their' sensuous beauty. You didn't see 'They' only thought about 'Them.' Behind the scenes, 'They' beat to 'Their' drum, and to a rhythm only 'They' heard. If 'They' had stayed, the end would have been bitter. So, I offer these comforting words. [Chorus] Given time, even mountains will erode. If given time, the stone will wear away. Given time, broken hearts will recover. Given time, you'll be glad 'They' didn't stay. [Bridge] 'We' can be your bed of roses. 'We' will be given the time. [Chorus] Given time, even mountains will erode. If given time, the stone will wear away. Given time, broken hearts will recover. Given time, you'll be glad 'They' didn't stay. [Chorus / Outro] Given time, even mountains will erode. If given time, the stone will wear away. Given time, broken hearts will recover. Given time, you'll see that 'We'll' stay.
