Love Takes Time

Mariah Carey

---

I had it all 
But I let it slip away 
Couldn't see that I treated you wrong 
Now I wander around 
Feeling down and cold 
Trying to believe that you're gone 

Love takes time 
To heal when you're hurting so much 
Couldn't see that I was blind 
To let you go 
I can't escape the pain 
Inside 
Love takes time 
I don't wanna be here alone 

Losing my mind 
From this hollow in my heart 
Suddenly I'm so incomplete 
Lord I'm needing you now 
Tell me how to stop the rain 
Tears are falling down endlessly 

Love takes time 
To heal when you're hurting so much 
Couldn't see that I was blind 
To let you go 
I can't escape the pain 
Inside 
Love takes time 
I don't wanna be here alone 

You might say that it's over 
You might say that you don't care 
You might say you don't miss me 
You don't need me 
But I know that you do and I feel that you do 
Inside 

Love takes time 
To heal when you're hurting so much 
Couldn't see that I was blind 
To let you go 
I can't escape the pain 
Inside 
Love takes time 
I don't wanna be here alone
