"Good Things Take Time" lyrics

"Good Things Take Time"

I remember what you said to me
When you sat me down when I was 17
Too young to understand it then
As you laid out all that I could be

Do you know that feeling drownin' underwater
All I need is you but I can't even call ya
The dirt on my skin got me feeling like I'll never be clean

Getting all too familiar with going under
Blacking out every night just to feel numb yeah
The hurt in my life always putting me back at my knees

Oh even when I've been out all night
Even when I'm fuckin' up my life
Even when I'm losing my mind
I know that good things take time

And if you ask me then I'm alright
I'll cover up my shit with more lies
The truth is some days I wanna die
But the good things take time

Sometimes you'll find me screaming at the sky
How could you leave me here
Please just tell me why
But I remember what you said to me
Every word it burns this fire in memories

Do you know that feeling drownin' underwater
All I need is you but I can't even call ya
The dirt on my skin got me feeling like I'll never be clean

Oh even when I've been out all night
Even when I'm fuckin up my life
Even when I'm losing my mind
I know that good things take time

And if you ask me then I'm alright
I'll cover up my shit with more lies
The truth is some days I wanna die
But the good things take time

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Always chasing after the quick highs
But the good things take time
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

So even when I've been up all night
Even when I'm fuckin up my life
Even when I'm losing my mind
I know that good things take time

Even when I've been up all night
Even when I'm fuckin up my life
Even when I'm losing my mind
I know that good things take time

And if you ask me then I'm alright
I'll cover up my shit with more lies
The truth is some days I wanna die
But the good things take time

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Good things take time
Good things take time
Good things take time
Good things take time
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Good things take time
Good things take time
Good things take time
Good things take time
