It's Time

It's time
Time for me to fade
Time for me to hide

Time to forgive myself 
For wasting my time
And yours

Time to forgive myself
For loving you

I shouldn't have loved you
You are not mine to love
But you knew that
And gave me your heart anyway
With strings attached

It's time to cut those strings
Because you forgot I was hanging there
On your heart strings

Will I fall?
Yes
And it will hurt
But I will survive

It's time to tell you
I'll love you forever
You should have given me a chance
To heal your heart
But in trying
I broke mine

Will you realize
How much I love you
Maybe
When it's too late
