It Takes So Much Time

She always said crying won't get things done
She said the rain never brings out the sun
And you know that she'd tell you those tears won't un-break your heart.
And you're trying to stay sober, but you say it's a risk
'Cos a drink or two can get you through the bad days like this
This times when you miss her so much it just tears you apart.

The one thing you know now is that nothing lasts forever
And I promise you that one day you'll be fine
Nobody ever said that it was going to be easy
But it takes so much time.

You think that they'll say that you make a fuss,
That death is hard for all of us:
We all love, then watch our loved ones fade away.
The truth is: no one gives a toss
About anybody else's loss
We're all dealing with our own grief day by day.

The one thing you know now is that nothing lasts forever
And I promise you that one day you'll be fine
Nobody ever said that it was going to be easy
But it takes so much time.

The drawbridge to your heart
That was drawn up at the start
She had been the one to bring it crashing down
But now she's gone, the hearts and the flowers
Are once more banished to the towers
And your hopes wade out into the moat to drown.

The one thing you know now is that nothing lasts forever
And I promise you that one day you'll be fine
Nobody ever said that it was going to be easy
But it takes so much time.

Yes, it takes so much time.
