Love Takes Time - Gord Bamford

I had it all, but I let it slip away Couldn't see I treated you wrong Now I wander around, feeling down and cold Trying to believe that you're gone Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind To let you go I can't escape the pain inside 'Cause love takes time I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here alone (Ooh-ooh) Losing my mind from this hollow in my heart Suddenly, I'm so incomplete Lord, I'm needing you now Tell me how to stop the rain Tears are falling down endlessly (Oh-oh) Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I was blind To let you go I can't escape the pain inside 'Cause love takes time And I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here, alone You might say that it's over You might say that you don't care You might say you don't miss me You don't need me But I know that you do And I feel that you do, inside (Oh, oh) Love takes time To heal when you're hurting so much Couldn't see that I, I was so blind To let you go I can't escape the pain inside 'Cause love takes time I don't wanna be there I don't wanna be there, alone
