(verse 1)
i used to sit a home and wonder
why you don't make time for me
it's funny i gave everything up for you
stop talking to my friends and my family
but now i realize i ain't shit to you
so i'm leaving this message on you answering machine
i wonder how long it will take for you to know
or maybe when my words will get through
but...
(chours)
In the time it would take you to learn from your mistakes
In the time it would take to dial the phone
In the time it will take you to realize her greatness, she'll be gone, she's moved on
To someone who takes the time
(verse 2)
now all you gotta do is look back
and i'll tell you how long it took to make this track
in the begining you had all the time in the world
now you only got time for ya other gurls
i wasn't a priority to you
you had other things on ya mind
but i guess you'll have to see it's too late
and all i'm leaving is this song behind
to tell you..
(chours)
In the time it would take you to learn from your mistakes
In the time it would take to dial the phone
In the time it will take you to realize her greatness, she'll be gone, she's moved on
To someone who takes the time
(bridge)
Hey, no one knows what they have until they don't
And by then it doesn't matter anymore
You're all alone
(chours)
In the time it would take you to learn from your mistakes
In the time it would take to dial the phone
And the time it would take you to realize her greatness, she'll be gone (she'll be gone)
In the time it will take you to realize her greatness, she'll be gone, she's moved on
Hang up the phone...
