These Things Take Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wanna know why pain makes me stronger
I wanna know why good men die
Why am I so afraid of the dark
But I stray from the light?
I wanna know why you gave me eyes
When faith is how I see
And tell me
Is it easier to doubt
Or harder to believe?
Oh, there's so many questions stirring in me
And I wonder why
Sometimes the truth ain't easy to find
I wanna know all the answers
But I'm learning that
These things take time
Yeah, these things take time
How could success make us feel like failures?
And the harder we fall the harder we try
The more I have, the more I need
Just to feel like I'm getting by
Oh, there's so many questions and one short life
And I wonder why
Sometimes the truth ain't easy to find
I wanna know all the answers
But I'm learning that
These things take time
Yeah, these things take time
And we spend so much time
Chasing our tails, hoping to find
Every last answer
To everything in life
So many questions
Not enough time
But I'm still
Wondering why
Sometimes the truth ain't easy to find
I wanna know all the answers
But I'm learning that
These things take time
Yeah, these things take time
Hey!
We all wanna understand why
Evil lives and good men die
On the way to Heaven the truth unwinds
These things take time
These things take time
Yeah, these things take time
