By the Time

We all have stories that we will never tell

From the bottom line fear is the heart of hell

I was down and out but the world did not fall apart

And now there is not a single thing to frown about

You know my name but not my story

You know everything I’ve done

You know my name but not what I have been through

[Chorus:]

By the time you want me to be in your life again

By the time you will understand that I will be gone again

Life is too awesome to waste your time away

Someday this pain will make sense to you

I was down and out

But the world did not fall apart

And now there is not a single thing to frown about

You want me to be in your life again

But I will be in someone else’s

[Chorus]
