He calls me almost everyday, this man I've come to know

He thinks it's time to loosen up the ties

We gone to dinner, watched some shows

And sometimes laughed for hours

But I keep telling him those darn white lies

Hiding deep inside myself are wounds that haven't healed

I wonder if they ever will begin

I should forget, just block them out

Pretend the pain is gone

And though I try with all my might it's clear

(Chorus)

Time is what I need right now

I've got to figure out somehow

Why I can't let go of all the fear

Please just let me work it out

Finally, I'll come about

I don't want us apart, let's go back to the start

Please help me with the state of my heart

You think I'm leading you along, keeping you at bay

Because I never seem to let you in

It's not that I don't want you there

I'd love to let you see

The person I already know inside

But hidden deep inside my soul there's doubt I can't erase

Maybe no possibility exists

I could be wrong, I bet I am

But I need, for myself

To see that you aren't like the other men

(Chorus)

Time is what I need right now

I've got to figure out somehow

Why I can't let go of all the fear

Please just let me work it out

Finally, I'll come about

I don't want us apart, let's go back to the start

Please help me with the state of my heart

I promise you I'll work it out

Stop seeing me with so much doubt

I don't want us apart

Let's go back to the start

Please help me with the state of my heart
