The Time it Takes to Cry
1st verse
I never thought I could get this mad
You fought for my heart but gave it up so fast
All I took when I left was a single wooden frame
Holding a picture of our wedding day
The sun used to shine when you looked at me
But it went down when I couldn’t believe
1st Chorus
How could you stand there and lie to my face?
When I held the letters you wrote but still you drew a blank
All the “I love yous” and promises that should have been for me
You wasted on some woman who could never give you what you need
This is not how I thought we’d end up saying good-bye
But, you’re not worth the time it takes to cry
2nd verse
Past the point of trying to see
How you held her close and then came home to me
The spark was fading but not completely burned out
Enough reason to lay your cards down
The sun used to shine when you looked at me
But it went down when I couldn’t believe
2nd chorus
How could nine years make you settle for less?
But I guess that’s what you find after having the best
You gave up on us so easy when it got too hard
Then let yourself surrender to someone elses arms
This is not how I thought we’d end up saying good-bye
But, you’re not worth the time it takes to cry
Bridge
That picture lies in pieces on that hotel room floor
No questions have been answered, I’m not asking anymore
It’s time to say good-bye, you’re not worth the time it takes to cry
