Give It Time

when I saw you for the first time
I thought I might be sick
that combination of joy and compulsion
and you were the reason for it
and in the blink of an eyelid
you were in my ride
I was wasted thought you'd laugh when I kissed you
though I guess it makes sense that you cried

give it time give it time give it time
it will break you

from our house I heard voices so far away
there's no difference between ropes and roses
when you've got nothin' good to say
and in the blink of an eyelid
you become someone else
I try to find you but you are on a island
and I guess I have to tell myself
give it time give it time give it time
it will break you

when I saw you for the last time
I sweat right through my shirt
I'm no professional heartbreak's just a pastime
but that don't mean it don't hurt

give it time give it time give it time
it will break you
give it time give it time give it time
it will break you
give it time give it time give it time
it will break you
it will break you
it will break you
