It's Time I Tried

(Allison Moorer/Doyle Primm)

Sorrow, I'm told

Comes and goes

But that ain't what I say

'Cause for me

The misery

Never goes away

It's been like this

Ever since

You told me goodbye

And I've refused

To lose these blues

But it's time I tried

It's time I tried

To mend my broken heart

Dry my eyes

And make a brand new start

I have to heal this hurt I feel

And get you off my mind

It might be hard

But it's time I tried

All I do

Is long for you

When I turn out the lights

'Cause nothing's left

But loneliness

To hold onto at night

I toss and turn

While my heart yearns

For love I've been denied

I can't replace

Your warm embrace

But it's time I tried

It's time I tried

To mend my broken heart

Dry my eyes

And make a brand new start

I have to heal this hurt I feel

And get you off my mind

It might be hard

But it's time I tried

It's time I tried
