Lyrics

Spiralling

[Verse 1]

I try hard

To put you out of my mind

Every night alone

I'm thinking 'bout you

How can I avoid this pain without you?

[Verse 2]

I won't cry

I won't be sorry no more

I know that this is

Something I'll get over

Maybe I can learn to love another

[Refrain]

It's just a matter of time

A matter of time

[Verse 3]

Just because

I lock myself in my room

Doesn't mean that

I'm afraid to talk to

Those people I know

That might have you seen you

[Verse 4]

No return

I keep reminding myself

I won't look back

Won't regret a single moment

I'm gonna mend this heart

Inside you've broken

[Refrain]

It's just a matter of time

A matter of time

It's just a matter of time

A matter of time
