By The Time

We all have stories that we will never tell

From the bottom line fear is the heart of hell

I was down and out but the world did not fall apart

And now there is not a single thing to frown about

You know my name but not my story

You know everything I've done

You know my name but not what I have been through

What I have been through

By the time you want me to be, to be in your life, to be in your life again

Someday you will see

By the time you will understand that I will be gone, I will be gone again

Life is too awesome to waste your time away

Someday this pain will make sense to you

I was down and out, but the world did not fall apart

And now there is not a single thing to frown about

You want me to be in your life again

But I will be in someone else's

By the time you want me to be, to be in your life, to be in your life again

Someday you will see

By the time you will understand that I will be gone, I will be gone again

By the time you want to tell me, (and you want me to see)

By the time you will understand that I will be gone, I will be gone again

By the time you want me to be in your life again (2x)
