There Was a Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ooh, broken glass and cigarettes, writin' 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, one who can't recall Where she was while she was sleepin' in another woman's bed Or the doctor's, or the lawyer's, or a stranger that she met If there's nothin' I can gain from this or anything at all It'd be the knowledge that you gave me when I thought I'd heard it all [Chorus] It was a long time for you (It was a long time) It was a long time for me (It was a long time) It'd be a long time for anyone but (It was a long time) Looks like it's meant to be [Verse 2] Social class and registers, cocaine in the hall All the way from California on the way to your next call To those non-negotiations to simulate a cause For the betterment of evils and your ways around the laws That keep you up and sitting pretty on a pedestal or bed And now you're sleepin' like an angel, never mind who you gave head If there's somethin' I can make of this or anything at all It'd be the devil hates a loser and you thought you had it all [Chorus] It was a wrong time for you (It was a wrong time) It was a wrong time for me (It was a wrong time) It was the wrong time for everyone, but (It was the wrong time) Looks like I got to see for myself [Bridge] If I could go back in time to the place in my soul There, all alone Lonely teardrops, ooh, are callin' you But I don't want to know it, now 'Cause knowin' you, it won't change a damn thing But there was a time [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Yeah, there was a time, I didn't wanna know at all Didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now Yeah, there was a time, didn't wanna know at all Didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now (Oh) Oh, I would do anything for you There was a time I would do anything for you I would do anything for you There was a time [Guitar Solo] [Outro] There was a time I would do anything for you Ooh-oh, I would do anything for you (Yeah, there was a time, didn't wanna know at all) (Didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now) Oh, I would do anything for you (Didn't wanna know at all) (Didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now) Didn't know There was a time
