Why did I ever think that I had time to kill? As if I somehow had the power to make it stand still It slipped away from me like sand through a sieve It got away from me before I learned how to give Why did I ever let my ego get in the way? Never knew how much I'd miss you on a rainy day Times like this when no one believes in me the way you used to No one here to show me how love can be true Why are you showing up every night in my dreams? Thought we broke it off long ago, or so it seems Now no one knows how to hold me close the way you used to No one here to show me how love can be true Time slipped away relentlessly like sand through a sieve It got away from me before I learned how to give Before I learned how to give Before I learned how to give *
