TIME

I need time To get myself together I'm no good to you If I'm falling apart I can't keep Lying to myself and everyone else The wounds won't heal if I ignore the hurt I can't believe I'm bouta say this But ever since a kid I hated myself I never understood How you could go to church And still feel like Your going through hell Told me to worship at the alter But I had too many questions For the father Like how I'm supposed to live Without my father See, I'm older now and I just Wanna be real real , real real Here's the deal deal deal Numb doesn't mean healed, And acting strong doesn't mean Built to last Yea, I had to learn that Gotta move slow Life is on a tightrope I don't want smoke I just wanna have hope I wanna hold on But I gotta let go I wanna hold on But I gotta let go I need time To get myself together I'm no good to you If I'm falling apart I can't keep lying to myself And everyone else The wounds won't heal if i Ignore the hurt I remember as a youngin Tranna spread hope But I was broken Tranna be strong For everyone else While neglecting myself In the process Nobody told me When your older That the pain you Were taught to get over Will arise from the rug you Swept under They tell you time heals But imma tell you the truth Time, ain't the healer See, It might reveal some things But it won't heal 'em Even goin to church won't mean that your in heaven But taking something to God Will remove some of the pressure And I'm under pressure Gotta move slow Life is on tightrope I don't want smoke I just wanna have hope I wanna hold on But I gotta let go I wanna hold on But I gotta let go I need time To get myself together I'm no good to you If I'm falling apart I can't keep lying to myself And everyone else The wounds won't heal if I ignore the hurt Oh oh oh I just need, time Oh I hope you understand Yea yea , yea yea
