Love Takes Time

love takes time from the mercy cd

oh, have you ever been lied to?
maybe mistreated, taken for granted 'til you just can't stand it?
were you ever mistaken?
thought to be someone that you just can't be?
so, where's the love you need?

-chorus-
love takes time
please be kind
see every part of me
cause i wanna be loved!
love ain't blind
ties that bind
take on eternity

oh, would you like to be trusted?
well, for once in your life carry that fire without burnin' each other?
are you easily angry?
oh, can you bury your pride?
could you ever forgive me and not keep it inside??

-chorus-

hey! make a sacrifice sometimes, maybe more than you planned.
don't you hate to go through the pain it takes to make a stand?
a hardened heart or a heartache to admit that you're wrong
and though it's hard it hardly matters if that love is gone.
make a sacrifice sometimes!

-chorus-

-------------------------------------

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Don't know.

-chorus-

Yes.
Yes.
Most of the time, yes.
Sometimes. I hope so.
Yes, though not as much as I should.

-chorus-

Often.
Yes.
Heartache usually, though I'm not sure to what end.
True.
Seems I make all the sacrifices. But then, I bet we all feel that way.
