lyrics

As I awoke I found myself alone
In my little yellow house, left here on my own
With her smell still on the air shortly after dawn
I realized she's everywhere now that she is gone

And I could not accept she wasn't comin' back
I lost my fuckin' mind and fell so far off track
Sought refuge in the words of doctors of the mind
Stared off to distant stars as if I wasn't blind

Time, you don't phase me
My mind will heal all my wounds
Time, you're amazing
The way you pass so fast is comin' none too soon

What are you supposed to do when true love is dead?
When the plans you made for life need new ones instead?
And can we still be friends? Well I just don't know,
'Cause I hate you with my head, but I love you with my soul

And as the days roll on these memories will fade
I hope to hold them dear for all remaining days
And though it has to end, it shouldn't take away
From the time that we once spent and the fact that it was great

Time, you don't phase me
My mind will heal all my wounds
Time, you're amazing
The way you pass so slow is comin' all too soon
