- Only Time Will Tell Lyrics / with translationsYou're leaving now it's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
I see it now becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starry eyed
You think that I would have known by now
Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost like the tears that used to tide
Me over
(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell
(Only time will tell)
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die
Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Gone like the tears that used to tide
Me over
You're leaving now it's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
(Only time will tell)
I see it now
Becomes so clear
(Only time will tell)
Your insincerity
And me all starry eyed
You think that I would have known by now
Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost like the tears that used to tide
Me over
(Over, over, over)
(Only time will tell)
You're on your own
Inside your room
(Only time will tell)
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell
