Lyrics

Time it Takes to Cry

I give up, you're just a memory anyway
Just love's apparition in the light of day
So maybe I did go crazy every time that we touched
Now that madness is history and I don't miss it ...much
It's pretty cut and dried
I know I will be alright
In the Time that it Takes to Cry

I've got lots of interesting things I can do
That don't involve even thinking about you
So who needs love, I've got cable and this great attitude
I've put flowers on the table and plates for my fast food
Got bigger fish to fry
I know I will be alright
In the Time that it Takes to Cry

So adios, sweet kisses
I'll have to be resigned
To a love life of near misses
Just like chasing fireflies
(through my fingers)
But on the brighter side
I know I will be alright
In the Time that it Takes to Cry
In the Time that it Takes to Cry
