Analysis of It's Time
Jason Marriner 1980 (Pensacola)
It's time, it's time I know
To say goodbye and finally let you go
I've been holding on, holding on far too long
To a love that like our past, is dead and gone
It's time, time for me to take back my heart
The same one that you left torn apart
Back when you were my girl
The only one I ever loved, my whole world
You held all the power, you were the key
To my heart, my soul, yes every part of me
It was always you that kept me in line
Your words filled my ears like a child's nursery rhyme
But what I thought was love, was just a fantasy in my mind
But that was long ago, so long ago, and now I know it's time
It's time, it's time I know
For me to finally say goodbye and let you go
I've been holding on, holding on far too long
To a love that like our past, is dead and gone
It's time, time for me to take back my heart
The same one that you left torn apart
Back when you were my girl
The only one I ever loved, my whole world
It's time, it's time I know it's true
To finally be at peace and forget about you
It's time, it's time I know it's true
To rethink everything I ever thought I knew
It's time for the sake of my sanity
To forget about another chance for you and me
Yes, I finally know it's time
It's time, I know
And I'm finally letting go
