lyrics

Time
Time continues on
Like the notes to this song
We are ever evolving

Space
Space between us grows
Expansion is inevitable
It’s the universe’s way of resolving

This conflict we always find ourselves in
The tug of war two hearts are always trying to win
Bringing about feelings to the fore
Only for pain to endure

Loving the right one at the wrong time
It’s the worst thing one can go through in life
Why is staying such a crime
Why does it play with our minds

You, you, you won’t leave
And I, I can’t stay
And now we face the pain
The pain love delays

You, you, you won’t leave
And I, I can't stay
And now we face the pain
That love delays

Love
Love conquers all (love conquers all)
We rise and heed to it’s call
But where is love in this instance
(Where did it go)

It’s safe
Safe for me to assume
Even when love is in full bloom
It doesn’t mean there won’t be distance

Loving the right one at the wrong time (at the wrong time)
It’s the worst thing one can go through in life (go through in life)
Why is staying such a crime (Oh no)
Why does it play with our minds

You, you, you won’t leave
And I, I can’t stay
And now we face the pain
The pain love delays

You, you, you won’t leave
And I, I can't stay
And now we face the pain
That love delays

We are better in theory than in practice (ooo ooo oh)
The pain, right or wrong, only distracts us (ooo ooo oh)
We should focus on our heart’s acceptance (ooo ooo oh)
That this is the end (oh)
We can no longer pretend

You, you, you won’t leave
And I, I can’t stay
And now we face the pain
The pain love delays

You, you, you won’t leave
And I, I can't stay
And now we face the pain
That love delays

You, you, you won’t leave
And I, I can’t stay
And now we face the pain
The pain love delays

You, you, you won’t leave
And I, I can't stay
And now we face the pain
That love delays

You, you won’t leave
And I, I can’t stay

You, you won’t leave baby
And I, I can’t stay
