With my heart in little pieces 
I made my escape 
Another bad relation had taken its shape 
She almost made off 
With this soul of mine 
It was close 
I was lost but she found me in time 

*You can lend me your ear 
You can lend me your heart 
But can you give me the time 
To make a brand new start? 

**Just give me time 
You should want it that way 
If I told the truth tonight 
Would you take your love away? 
Just give me time 
You know it has to be that way 
If I told another lie 
Will it buy another day? 

You gave me the strength 
To get back on my feet 
Can you give me the time 
To believe the love I feel? 
If I asked any more than the words that I feel 
Will I know if it's love? 
Will I know who I am? 

I don't need a bleeding heart 
I just want a helping hand 
You can pull me apart 
Or you can understand 

**Repeat 
*Repeat 
***Repeat with ad lib to fade
