Lyrics
Here and now
The eyes may close but I no longer sleep
Alone in these cold sheets
I wonder how
The shadows on my door can lie and cheat
They're never what they seem
CHORUS
I feel that I have lost
I fear what I have found
I feel you dropped your halo
Somewhere in that crowd
It saddens me to say
You're left here in your shell
Will you stay hollow and alone?
Princess, only time will tell
Upon your arms
You scratch the itch with stained glass fingernails
Maybe you skipped ahead too fast?
You're marked for life
Maybe you're scared to reconcile
For the dances with demons of your past
CHORUS
Fall down, fall hard
How bitter I've become
Seen truth, seen scars
Like tiny papercuts
Nothing will change
We'll stay the same
You've come too far not to explain
What reasons lie down in the back of your mind
CHORUS
CHORUS 2
There's nowhere left to run
There's nothing more to say
No excuses left to share
Why you pushed us all away
In sickness or in pain
Inflicted on yourself
Will you stay hollow and alone?
Darlin', only time will tell
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
Only time
