Only time will tell the truth I’m living proof of what could happen to a man When he decides to stand strong Some of them swim, some of them drown in their sorrows We’re living to die and I’d die to live again tomorrow But let me tell you about the time I was just a teen Yas & Bobby you said it was just a dream My life’s a circus I serve no purpose Now when you hear my name you get nervous You see it wasn’t just a fantasy ‘Cause music is my life and I cherish it like family So now I’m chasing dreams, facing obstacles Racing against the clock like it was impossible Somebody’s watching over me like a guardian angel I’m on the outside watching my life untangle Watching my life climb to new heights Still waiting for the day I see my name in lights
Chorus Tell ‘em once tell ‘em twice Only time will tell Some go up, some go down and some never fell Win or lose make a move, if you got the guts So why’s everybody always screaming life sucks
Verse 2 Only if I knew what made you hopeless When time stands still I just sit back and focus I hold a mic on stage, I hold a pen to the page And then I write like I was trapped in a cage But wait a minute ‘cause it’s not the end I call few people enemies and fewer people friends And a lot of people like to think they were down from the start You played your games you broke my heart You broke my heart into pieces You showed me who the beast is Yeah I trust you about as far as my hand reaches Sticking to me like leaches and holding me tight I went from deep sleep to sleepless nights I can’t take it, I got to make it my passion Dedicated to all the ones who were laughing Take these words home and think it through ‘Cause the next song I write might be about you
Chorus (3X)
Only time will tell why people try and drag you down They never make a noise and they never make a sound Only time will tell if these people really want you Maybe one day it’ll come back to haunt you Only time will tell what’s the price for being famous Some die with a name, some die nameless Only time will tell when you make a mistake Hold on to your life before it’s too late
