Lyrics
Matter of Time
Words/Music Tony DeLecce 11/2010
Living isn't easy in a broken dream
She wakes up alone and starts to scream
Working every day until the sun goes down
She's doing her best to keep her feet on the ground
And she knows it's only a matter of time
The dream is over she won't change her mind
Walking down the sidewalk on a sunday afternoon
telling her self she'll be gone soon
She doesn't know why she lives this lie
She knows its better than starting to cry
And she know it's only a matter of time
the dream is over she cant make up her mind
Bridge Chords C, Bm7, Em, C, Am
If it's only a matter of time?
why cant' she leave him and say goodbye
I guess there's more to the story
than meets the eye.
MIDDLE LEAD
Now she is older, wealthy and wise
she doesnt have the strength to make alibis
She knows there's nothing left to say
and he doesn't care he's set in his ways
Chorus
And she knows it's always been a matter of time
the dream is over and so are her lies
Walking down the sidewalk on a sunday afternoon
telling herself it will be over soon
she doesnt know why she's lived these lies
maybe it was better than saying goodbye
Chorus
And she knows it's always been a matter of time
the dream is over and so are their lives
BRIDGE
If it was only a matter of time
why didn't she leave him and say goodbye?
I guess there's more to the story
than meets the eye
