I know it's not your fault, but I'm a locked door Anytime I'm a mess by someone before And I wish that I, I could find a key To unlock all the things that you want us to be Let me open up and start again But there's a safe around my heart I don't know how to let you in And that's what keeps us apart And that's why I need time. I said I need you I need you to understand, you, you, you Call up the locksmith Tell him we need him quick We've got a million keys None of them seem to fit While you're on the phone Call up the clocksmith Cuz I could use some time Even the slightest bit Let me open up and start again And break this safe around my heart I don't know how to let you in And that's what keeps us apart And that's why I need time I said I need you I need you to understand, you, you, you I'm thinking now's the time Maybe it's time to go, if I gave you my heart, be gentle I'm tired of laying low, lets give the world a show And when you know, you know And when you know, you know, you know And when you know, you know, you know, you know And that's why I need time I said I need you I need you to understand, you, you, you I need you to understand I need you I need you, you, you
