I can’t stand the way you look at me

When I tell you that I gotta be

on my own for a while

Please let me breathe

Cause it takes time, time to leave things behind

You keep asking me for another call

Just to check on each other every now and then, that’s all

And yes, I’d love to hear your voice again

But it takes time, time to leave things behind

Don’t you see I’m trying so hard to believe

That there will be a time when we are both at peace

But for now, only distance can teach me how to heal

Cause it takes time, time to leave things behind

It takes time, time to leave you behind

You wanna go back to normal while we still love

Look at us now, we’re deceiving ourselves

Someday, someday it’ll be alright

Cause it takes time, time to leave things behind

Don’t you see I’m trying so hard to believe

That there will be a time when we are both at peace

But for now, only distance can teach me how to heal

Cause it takes time, time

To leave things behind

It takes time, time to leave you behind

I’m not ready to call you

I’m not ready to leave you
