the truth was a check, til you confessed, yeah til you bounced it
you were confused, i was a mess, a crashing plane, kept trying to ground it
i've been moved like a game of chess, you took my queen, and i'm still astounded
still i refused to say i'm through, i never liked the way that sounded
and i know why i couldn't go
and i know why i never could
i know why, but you should know
you have my heart you always will you always should
time is a test and it will tell us if we pass it
diamonds shine the best when you polish every facet
love is no contest, no one's winning any sashes
so i'm just gonna rest watch the time while it passes
and i know why i'm being strong
and i know why i wanna fight
i've known why all along
you have my heart, please treat it kind, please treat it right
