[Verse]
Losing you was hard
But being with you was worse
I was going to leave you
But you walked away first
My friends say they’re sorry
And that it’s just so sad
Maybe I should feel different
But I’m really glad
[Verse]
When we were together
I learned so much from you
Like how to be degrading
And how to be cruel
You’re the kind of person
I never want to be
I feel so much better
Since you walked out on me
[Chorus]
I guess only time will tell
If you ever change your ways
And learn to love someone
Without having them obey
You told me that you loved me
Then stabbed me in the back
You tried to act innocent
While you’re ready to attack
You should get an award
Cause you played the part so well
Will you ever change your ways
I guess only time will tell…
Only time will tell
[Verse]
I tried to make it work
But it was always a fight
No matter what I did
I could never get things right
You just weren’t happy
Unless you had control
It was like you were trying
To crush my very soul
[Verse]
Now that you’re not here
Things are going pretty well
I’m feeling so happy
Like I’m no longer in hell
Now I have the chance
To see how good life can be
And it’s all thanks to you
For not being here with me
[Chorus]
I guess only time will tell
If you ever change your ways
And learn to love someone
Without having them obey
You told me that you loved me
Then stabbed me in the back
You tried to act innocent
While you’re ready to attack
You should get an award
Cause you played the part so well
Will you ever change your ways
I guess only time will tell…
Only time will tell
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Sometimes you get used to things
And just don’t realize it’s bad
Then one day your sight gets clear
You see things you never have
[Final Chorus]
I guess only time will tell
If you ever change your ways
And learn to love someone
Without having them obey
You told me that you loved me
Then stabbed me in the back
You tried to act innocent
While you’re ready to attack
You should get an award
Cause you played the part so well
Will you ever change your ways
I guess only time will tell…
Only time will tell
