Time After Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Time after time
I guess that love is blind
I couldn’t read your mind
Line after line
Line after line
It was written in your eyes
I guess it’s no surprise
Time after time
[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear them whispering
Shadows in the rain
Thinking how it might have been
[Chorus]
Time after time
Line after line, you broke me
[Verse 2]
Day after day
I watched love fade away
I wanted love to stay
Day after day
The games we play
The foolish things we say
The pain won’t go away
Day after day
[Pre-Chorus]
Candlelight is shimmering
Shadows on the wall
Thinking how it might have been
[Chorus]
Day after day
The games we play, you broke me
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Candlelights are shimmering
Shadows on the wall
Thinking how it might have been
[Chorus]
Time after time
Line after line, you broke me
Time after time
Line after line, you broke me
