When I was young I had a vision in mind
Of all the things I'd want in my life
It was my plan, it was perfect for me
But then came alone the sacrifice
That became the most important thing in my life
Why did you steal those years from me

Give me back my time
The time it took is gone
It can never be replaced
Why you did me wrong
The time it took is gone

As the seconds and minutes continue to fly
My heart was gone and my body denied
The fact that I could stay here for one more night
From the moment you stepped into my world
You created a dream I wasn't ready for
But now it's time to show you, all that I'm worth

Give me back my time
The time it took is gone
It can never be replaced
Why you did me wrong
The time you took is gone

These are the hands of time that we lose
For decisions in life that we make or we choose
It may not have been just the way that you want
But the love in your heart it was carried you on

These are the hands of time that we lose
For decisions in life that we make or we choose
It may not have been just the way that you want
But the love in your heart it was carried you on
