I've been around for you, been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you, I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You've got me stealing your love away 'cause you never give it
Peelin' the years away and we can't relive it
I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's how it's got to be, I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly.

You said we'd work it out, you said that you had no doubt
I thought we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on to a feeling I know is gone
I do believe I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness of a worn out relation
Enough of this jealousy and intoleration
I wonder why I even try
I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's just how it's got to be, I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly, time for me to fly

Time for me to fly, I got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's just how it's got to be, I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly, that's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye but it's time for me to fly
