I cannot say I'm around
I cannot talk to you now
There is no more to discuss
About the future of us
One thing in common I know that's true
We both are hurting me and you

Doesn't the time go slow
When the lump in your heart won't let go
And don't your nights appear more lonely, my dear
All this is true I know, hmmm

You cannot hide from the sun
Just to shelter your heart
There's so much work to be done
When your world falls apart
Forever there in my memory
I close my eyes but I still can't see

Doesn't the time go slow
When the lump in your heart won't let go
And don't your nights appear more lonely, my dear
All this is true I know

Doesn't the time go by
Like the clouds in a still summer sky
And don't your nights appear
More lonely, my dear
All this I true I know, I know

I remember you by me beside me
It broke my heart to the point where I cried

Doesn't the time go slow
When the lump in your heart won't let go
And don't your nights appear more lonely, my dear
All this is true I know

Doesn't the time go by
Like the clouds in a still summer sky
And don't your nights appear more lonely, my dear
All this is true I know, oh, oh

Doesn't the time go slow
When the lump in your heart won't let go
And don't your nights appear more lonely, my dear
All this is true I know
