Lyrics:
Midnight in New York and the flowers don't grow
morning comes but the sun don't shine for me no more
skylines change and I great the brand new day
but the bomb in my head keeps on ticking and ticking away

The grass grew tall the spring that I met you,
but the leaves all died the fall that you left me
I'm not surprised, no it never really fazed me
that when you said goodbye, all I could do was hate me
'cause goodbye means gone and gone means forever
and forever was how long you said we'd be together
but I still refuse to cry 'cause I always knew it in my mind
that all we ever were was just a matter of time

Another day passes and I still feel you in my arms
the moon rises but it can't shine as bright as the stars
and there ain't no hint of morning
I wasn't even given a warning
guess I was wrong
I am always wrong

The grass grew tall the spring that I met you,
but the leaves all died the fall that you left me
I'm not surprised, no it never really fazed me
that when you said goodbye, all I could do was hate me
'cause goodbye means gone and gone means forever
and forever was how long you said we'd be together
but I still refuse to cry 'cause I always knew it in my mind
that all we ever were was just a matter of time

when you looked into my eyes, and I believed all your lies
I can't say I was surprised
we were only a matter of time
and when you looked into my eyes
and you said I'll be alright
I can't say I was surprised
you were only a matter, only a matter, only a matter of time

and the bomb still ticks in my mind
and my days begin to rhyme
but I'm still not, still not, I'm still not, still not surprised
you were only a matter of time
