Time

Lyrics

Verse 1
You never call my name
You just take what you want
From the fruit on the table
To the gold in the dust

You wear my best days thin
Like a ring on a chain
I watch your cold hands move
And you never explain

Pre-Chorus
You stand in the doorway
Act like you own the room
I keep reaching for mercy
You keep changing the moon

Chorus
Time, you look at me
Like I’m already gone
Time, you look at me
And you keep moving on
You never hold me
You never stay
Time, you look at me
Then you fade away (fade away)

Verse 2
You left your mark on her face
On the frame by the stair
In the crease of his smile
In the salt in my hair

You turn soft prayers to dust
You turn vows into smoke
Then you smile like a secret
And you leave us to hope

Pre-Chorus
You stand in the doorway
Act like you own the room
I keep reaching for mercy
You keep changing the moon

Chorus
Time, you look at me
Like I’m already gone
Time, you look at me
And you keep moving on
You never hold me
You never stay
Time, you look at me
Then you fade away (fade away)

Bridge
If I begged on my knees
Would you bend one inch?
If I named every scar
Would you soften your grip?

But you’re iron in velvet
You’re a lock without a key
You don’t answer to anyone
Not even me (not even me)

Final Chorus
Time, you look at me
Like I’m already gone
Time, you look at me
And you keep moving on
You never hold me
You never stay
Time, you look at me
Then you fade away (fade away)

Time, you look at me
Like a queen with no throne
Time, you look at me
Then you leave me alone
You never hold me
You never stay
Time, you look at me
Then you fade away (fade away)
