A Matter Of Time - Aytekin Ataş

Let's change the subject to someone else You know, lately, I've been subject to change Normally, I reel in the strange Hangover, I'm older You're one to talk, the heart is a clock Just like a bomb that keeps on tickin' away Counting down to detonate You will need an army disarmin' me It doesn't matter much to me If it doesn't matter much to you, ooh It doesn't matter much to me If it doesn't matter much to you It's just a matter of time, before, before It's just a matter of time, before, before And though I hate to rewind, before, before It's just a matter of time My past is getting us nowhere fast I was never one for takin' things slow Nowhere seems like somewhere to go Come over, and over Doin' my time for line after line When will I learn to sing these crimes to myself? Prisoners to share a cell with I'm holdin', still holdin', holdin' you in It doesn't matter much to me If it doesn't matter much to you, ooh It doesn't matter much to me If it doesn't matter much to you It's just a matter of time, before, before It's just a matter of time, before, before And though I hate to rewind, before, before It's just a matter of time Where the hell were you? Ooh Where the hell were you? Ooh Where the hell were you? It's just a matter of time, before, before It's just a matter of time, before, before And though I hate to rewind, before, before It's just a matter of time What does it matter now? What does it matter now? What does it matter now? What does it matter now? It's just a matter of time Time!

You're looking for a way out, I can feel it Come on, show me where it hurts, maybe I can heal it Your feelings are your own, now you keep them under lock and key You've got me driving through the streets for an answer to the mystery The world's still awake on Charleston Avenue Outside that vacant starlight motel I see you Laughing with your girlfriends Not a care in the world Not a burden on your mind It was a matter of time There's a panic in this house and it's bound to surface Just walking through the front door makes me nervous It's creeping up the floorboards, got me wondering where I stand I cannot put out the fire, I've got a book of matches in my hand When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt Made just enough, hustling tables, that summer to take you out I was falling back on forever When you told me about your heart You laid it on the line Laughing with your girlfriends Not a care in the world Not a burden on your mind You're hanging on the line! It was just a matter It was a matter of time We'd find ourselves a place, we belong in this forever Ain't that what it's all about? Make the promise and keep it Come hell or high water We'd figure it out It was the night, it was the moon It was the green grass in the garden The victory and the sin I know you're weary, look at me Flailing in the corner Here's the towel Go on, throw it in It was a matter of time Can't you see that it's tearing me up inside? Look what's laying at our feet That's the wreckage of broken dreams And burned out halos And it's here on our street

Someday, someway You'll realize that you've been blind Yes darling, you're going to need me again It's just a matter of time Go on, go on 'Til you've reached the end of the line 'Cause I know you'll pass my way again It's just a matter of time After I gave you everything I had You laughed and called me a clown Remember, in your search for fortune and fame What goes up must come down I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find That my love is a true love It's just a matter of time Someday and someway Girl, you'll realize that you've been blind Yes darling, I know you're gonna need me again It's just a matter of time After I gave you everything I had You laughed and you called me a clown But remember, in your search for fortune and fame What goes up must come down I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find That my love was a true love It's just a matter of time

Look me in the eyes Tell me you're not lying to me See through your disguise You can't keep on hiding from me Time to make it right So why are you still sayin' I'm wrong? Well, it's only a matter of time to set it straight Time to tell the world that you've been lying on my name Doing what you want and think you're gonna get away Well, I'll leave it up to fate for now But it's only a matter of time An eye for an eye, you'll go blind And when did you stop being kind? You twisted your words like a knife Well, I'm sure that you're hurting inside But why would you make your pain mine? You're making me pay for your crimes Darling, I'll be fine But it's only a matter of It ain't over yet You can't tear me down and act like I will just forget When karma comes around, then you'll be drowning in regret But it's not about revenge tonight No, it's only a matter of time An eye for an eye, you'll go blind And when did you stop being kind? You twisted your words like a knife (oh) Pick myself up off the floor, you can't hurt me No more of this endless charade I'm not playing your game You can say what you like Doesn't mean that you're right Are you glad you got that out? Do you feel better now? Do you feel better now, now? Time, an eye for an eye, you'll go blind When did you stop being kind? You twisted your words like a knife Well, I'm sure that you're hurting inside But why would you make your pain mine? You're making me pay for your crimes Darling, I'll be fine But it's only matter of time
