When I saw you for the first time I thought I might be sick That combination of joy and compulsion And you were the reason for it And in the blink of an eyelid You were in my ride I was wasted thought you'd laugh when I kissed you Though I guess it makes sense that you cried Give it time give it time give it time It will break you From our house I heard voices so far away There's no difference between ropes and roses When you've got nothin' good to say And in the blink of an eyelid You become someone else I try to find you but you are on a island And I guess I have to tell myself Give it time give it time give it time It will break you When I saw you for the last time I sweat right through my shirt I'm no professional heartbreak's just a pastime But that don't mean it don't hurt Give it time give it time give it time It will break you Give it time give it time give it time It will break you Give it time give it time give it time It will break you It will break you It will break you
