I've been around for you
Been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you

But you still make me feel like a thief
You've got me stealing your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peelin' the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
Chorus:

Time for me to fly
I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
I thought we were really in love
Oh but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe I've had enough
I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of this jealousy and intoleration
I wonder why I even try
I believe it's time for me to fly

Chorus:

Time for me to fly
I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly

Time for me to fly
I got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's just how it's got to be
I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly
That's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
