If Time Is All I Have - Live Lyrics
James Blunt
Lyrics
When you wake up
Turn your radio on
And you'll hear this simple songs
That I made up
That I made up for you
When you're driving
Turn your radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
All these days
To get my message through
If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
When you marry and you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up that it isn't me
When we're older and the memories fade
I know I'll still feel the same, yeah
For as long as I live
And if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
Won't you say my name one time
Please, just say my name
And if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted-do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
Won't you say my name
When the song is over?
