C.west - TIME

I need time
To get myself together
I'm no good to you
If I'm falling apart
I can't keep
Lying to myself and everyone else
The wounds won't heal if
I ignore the hurt
I can't believe
I'm bouta say this
But ever since a kid
I hated myself
I never understood
How you could go to church
And still feel like
Your going through hell
Told me to worship at the alter
But I had too many questions
For the father
Like how I'm supposed to live
Without my father
See, I'm older now and I just
Wanna be real real , real real
Here's the deal deal deal
Numb doesn't mean healed,
And acting strong doesn't mean
Built to last
Yea, I had to learn that
Gotta move slow
Life is on a tightrope
I don't want smoke
I just wanna have hope
I wanna hold on
But I gotta let go
I wanna hold on
But I gotta let go
I need time
To get myself together
I'm no good to you
If I'm falling apart
I can't keep lying to myself
And everyone else
The wounds won't heal if i
Ignore the hurt
I remember as a youngin
Tranna spread hope
But I was broken
Tranna be strong
For everyone else
While neglecting myself
In the process
Nobody told me
When your older
That the pain you
Were taught to get over
Will arise from the rug you
Swept under
They tell you time heals
But imma tell you the truth
Time, ain't the healer
See, It might reveal some things
But it won't heal 'em
Even goin to church won't
mean that your in heaven
But taking something to God
Will remove some of the pressure
And I'm under pressure
Gotta move slow
Life is on tightrope
I don't want smoke
I just wanna have hope
I wanna hold on
But I gotta let go
I wanna hold on
But I gotta let go
I need time
To get myself together
I'm no good to you
If I'm falling apart
I can't keep lying to myself
And everyone else
The wounds won't heal if
I ignore the hurt
Oh oh oh
I just need, time
Oh
I hope you understand
Yea yea , yea yea
