Love Takes Time

Mariah Carey
The Ultimate Love Songs Collection

I had it all, but I let it slip awayCouldn't see I treated you wrongNow I wander around, feeling down and coldTrying to believe that you're gone

Love takes timeTo heal when you're hurting so muchCouldn't see that I was blindTo let you goI can't escape the pain inside'Cause love takes timeI don't wanna be hereI don't wanna be here alone (Ooh-ooh)

Losing my mind from this hollow in my heartSuddenly, I'm so incompleteLord, I'm needing you nowTell me how to stop the rainTears are falling down endlessly (Oh-oh)

Love takes timeTo heal when you're hurting so muchCouldn't see that I was blindTo let you goI can't escape the pain inside'Cause love takes timeAnd I don't wanna be hereI don't wanna be here, alone

You might say that it's overYou might say that you don't careYou might say you don't miss meYou don't need meBut I know that you doAnd I feel that you do, inside (Oh, oh)

Love takes timeTo heal when you're hurting so muchCouldn't see that I, I was so blindTo let you goI can't escape the pain inside'Cause love takes timeI don't wanna be thereI don't wanna be there, alone
