Time will be the healer once again
Time will lift you up and out of this
I know that you can't stand to hear his name
But time will be the healer once again

One day when you're long past this you'll laugh about it
Sometimes you gotta be a river and go around it
Just put a little distance between your world and his
Time will be your best friend when it comes to this

That's what you get for loving someone else's man
Burn that bridge, break that bond, and change your plan
If that boy don't wanna stay just let him go
Time will be the best friend that you know

Time will be the healer once again
Time will lift you up and out of this
I know that you can't stand to hear his name
Well time will be the healer once again

Keep your friends and neighbors close at hand
Stay busy with your work and don't give in
To the bottle or your self-defeating game
Time will be the healer once again

(Vocalizing)

Time will see you through this you'll live to tell
Time will pick you up and serve you well
The life that you live for is the best revenge
This time will stand for something in the end

Time will be the healer once again
Time will lift you up and you will again
Pretty soon you won't even recall his name
Time will be the healer once again

Time will be the healer once again
