Lyrics

The time has come
To see what you've become
The heartache that you've caused
And all the things that you have done

I've watched your life
Slowly falling apart
You're loosin' all the people
That you held once in your heart

(Chorus)
The Time has come
To turn your life around
It ain't so bad
To have your feet on the ground
You know that I
Only say this 'cuz I care
The life you're leadin'
Ain't getting you nowhere

Remember the times
When your family was there
You know that I recall
Those were the times
You used to care

And your best friends
They'd like to see you again
They're hoping that you've changed
From the way that you have been

(Chorus 2)

(Bridge)
It's hard to see
What you're doing to yourself
But can't you see
That you're killing
Everyone else?


I wish that you
Would take the time to find
All the memories
And all the love
You left behind
Just take the time
And have a good look around
And think of what you're doin'
And the people you've let down

(Chorus 3)

(Chorus 4)

The time has come
To see what you've become
