lyrics

There comes a time, comes a time for changing
There comes a time, time for some rearranging
And you got yours and I'm on my own now
There comes a time to pay the debt ya owe now

You got your family, and I need a friend now
And you got love, I need a helping hand now
But you're still lonesome writing your thoughts down
There comes a time where you best move along now

Don't lie, Don't lie, you've been telling all your friends
Your alibi, all about how I drove ya to your wits ends
It does your conscience good to put the blame on what ya heard
I'm not sticking around to feel the pain
Let me tell ya a secret I'll probably love ya til my last day
But it don't matter it don't matter anyway

I got my freedom, you got your whole life now
And you'll get married, you'll settle down now
I'm on the road playing what could've been now,
There comes a time where you rewrite the lines now

I won't lie, I won't lie I've been telling all my friends
My alibi, all about, how ya drove me to my wits ends
It does my conscience good to put the blame on what I heard
I'm not sticking around to feel the pain
Let me tell ya a secret you might've loved me til your last day
But it don't matter it don't matter anyway
