a matter of time

It’s just a matter of time till it falls apart
It’s just a matter of time
A matter of time
It’s just a matter of time till they break your heart
It’s just a matter of time
And time’s so unkind

What are the odds?
Ten thousand to one?
That the one you are with
Won’t turn tail and run
You can swear before God
You can buy them the ring
But statistics don’t lie
And the chances are slim

It’s just a matter of time till it falls apart
It’s just a matter of time
A matter of time
It’s just a matter of time till they break your heart
It’s just a matter of time
And time’s so unkind

A heart has no home
And no sense of shame
It’ll sit for a while
Then it bounds off again
You can promise the earth
You can beg them to stay`
But like sand in a glass
They soon slip away

It’s just a matter of time till it falls apart
It’s just a matter of time
A matter of time
It’s just a matter of time till they break your heart
It’s just a matter of time
And time’s so unkind
