Only time will tell the truth
I抦 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抮e living to die and I抎 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抯 a circus I serve no purpose
Now when you hear my name you get nervous
You see it wasn抰 just a fantasy
慍ause music is my life and I cherish it like family
So now I抦 chasing dreams, facing obstacles
Racing against the clock like it was impossible
Somebody抯 watching over me like a guardian angel
I抦 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 æ…¹m once tell æ…¹m 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抯 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 慶ause it抯 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抰 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
慍ause 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抣l come back to haunt you
Only time will tell what抯 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抯 too late

[Chorus (2X)]
