There was a time

Broken glass and cigarettes
writing on the wall
it was a bargain for the summer
and I thought I had it all.
I was the one who gave you everything
the one who took the fall
you were the one who would do anything
the one who can't recall
where she was while she was sleeping
in another woman's bed
or the doctors or the lawyers,
or a stranger that she met.
If there's nothing I can gain from this
or anything at all
it'd be the knowledge that ya gave me
when I thought I'd heard it all.

It was a long time with you
it was a long time with me
it'd be a long time for anyone
but looks like it's meant to be Social class and registers,
cocaine in the hall
all the way from California,
on the way beyond that stall.
to those non-negotiations
to simulate a call
all the bad of learning evils and
your ways around the laws
that keep you up and sitting pretty
on a pedestal of men
and now you're sleeping like an angel
near the man who reaped it in.

If there's something I can make of this
or anything at all
it'd be the devil hates a loser and
you thought you had it all.

It was a wrong time for you
it was a wrong time for me
it was the wrong time for everyone
but looks like I'm about to see for myself.

If I could go back in time to the place
in my soul, there all alone
lonely tear drops
ooh, are calling you
but I don't wanna know it now
'cause knowing you, it won't change a damn thing.
but there was a time.

(Solo)

yeah, there was a time,
didn't wanna know it all
didn't wanna know it all and
I don't wanna know it now

yeah, there was a time
didn't wanna know it all
didn't wanna know it all and
I don't wanna know it now

(Solo)

Oh, I would do anything for you
there was a time
I would do anything for you
oh, I would do anything for you
there was a time.

(Solo)

There was a time,
I would do anything for you
yeah there was a time
didn't wanna know it all
didn't wanna know it all
and I don't wanna know it now
didn't wanna know it all
didn't wanna know it all
and I don't wanna know it now
(to this love)
There was a time..
