[intro]
Close the blinds, draw the curtains;
shut out the light of day.
Can’t you see that I’m hurting.
I want to hide away.
[verse]
I know you mean well but pity’s no help.
Please give me some space to grieve.
I need to be alone with my feelings.
Some time to find a new me.
[pre chorus]
For the first time in years
I find myself alone
and my hearts aching for
the only love I’ve known.
[chorus]
Give me time, give me time
to find a new me.
Give me time, give me time
to find a new me.
[verse]
I don’t want to share my feelings with you.
When the time's right I’ll let you know.
I need to be alone with my heartache.
take some time to search my soul.
[pre chorus]
For the first time in years
I’ll be flying solo.
I know I’ll be frightened
to face my life alone.
[chorus]
Give me time, give me time
time to find a new me.
Give me time, give me time
to find the new me.
[bridge]
My scars may still be on the mend
when you see me again.
So if I don’t seem like myself.
Please don’t judge me my friend.
[Outro]
Give me time, give me time;
time to find a new me.
Give me time, give me time;
time to find a new me.
