Giving You Time

The night winds down and, while we stared into our drinks, 
the place has slowly emptied to the street. 
It's just you and I, side-by-side but miles away. 
Our reflections stare right back, but they've got nothin' left to say. 

We shouldn't try to hold on, anymore. 
Just let you find out what fate has in store. 
'Cause when the moment is over, it's over. 

It's a long ride home.  Won't you look me in the eye? 
I'm sorry if this hurts, I never wanna see you cry. 
But baby you can feel it, although we smile and move on past. 
This love is not forever, it's mean't to comfort not to last. 

We shouldn't try to hold on, anymore. 
Just let you find out what fate has in store. 
'Cause when the moment is over, it's over. 

Giving you time, another day to be together
with someone else whose heart is there to stay. 
Giving you time, to find a new sense of adventure
before the echoes of our songs all fade away. 
Giving you time. 

I might never find another
brave enough to knock upon my door. 
But I need more than a lover
to help me understand what love is for. 

We shouldn't try to hold on, anymore. 
Just let you find out what fate has in store. 
'Cause when the moment is over, it's over. 

Giving you time, another day to be together
with someone else whose heart is there to stay. 
Giving you time, to find a new sense of adventure
before the echoes of our songs all fade away. 
Giving you time.
