lyrics

Rephrase your thoughts and broken mind
Yea, you can do it all the time
Yea, I don’t care what you say anyway
It’s been too long I’ve been too kind

Where’s the pain you talk about?
Yea, I can hear it when you shout
I hear your voice inside me when I say
Just let it in, or let it out

And it’s been too long, now
And I finally realized
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time

Can I ignite your own self-doubt?
Belief is all you talk about
You bear your cross of shame now everyday
So can I help you work it out?

Are compromises getting old?
I’m stuck here watching you unfold
But I’ll take every minute till you say
That this is all you’ll ever know

And it’s been too long, now
And I finally realized
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time

Sunday best but we won’t come clean
So we forget what we both see
Another empty try, so we slide on by
And now you turn, to say, to me

It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time
