It was a matter of time
Before I let go of you
It was a matter if time 
Till I was done
When I gave my heart to you
Only for you to throw it back
The pain was for nothing
So I'm gonna do something
It'll only be a matter of time
Until I forget you 
And l leave you alone
It'll only be a matter of time
Before my heart's as cold as stone
Don't you dare remember me, but I guess
In a matter of time you won't
