telling time

Can you not see what you've done
you gave your heart away like that
I didn't want to fall in love
with anyone but you did

I can still hear the songs
the melody behind the kiss
you gave me you were wrong
I was right so I walked away

and let you dance alone
I got so tired of talking on the telephone
How many times could we say those words goodbye?

I've made mistakes and one
was telling you that I'd be there
when telling time had come
I should have said I did not care

oh the time I would have saved
If I had been less willing to accomodate
you'd been a little less likely to cry

you go back to the high life
I'll go back to the low
I should have known
but now I know

there'll be no words from you
describing how it felt to go through
what I put you through
It all makes perfect sense

the way you cut the rope
that kept you dangling from such
pitiful amounts of hope
I would've cut it too...
