[Verse 1]
Time is a messenger
Tells us the things we should have done
You never thought my love counted for much
Soon the day came and you moved on

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're a great bit man
Up on the tower
When you stop and look
At all you’ve got

[Chorus]
I could've told you
It could have been a little bit sweeter
Oh, yeah
But you had to make it all by yourself, yes you did
It could have been a little bit better
If you'd let me give the love I had

[Verse 2]
Time tells a story
Of great mеn and all of their glory
And as I turn through the pages
Our lovе is the same
As through the ages
[Pre-Chorus]
Yes, you’ll be a legend
Just like all the rest
But history never says
That they found happiness

[Chorus]
I could've told you
It could have been a little bit sweeter
Oh, oh
But you had to do it all by yourself, yes you did
It could have been a little bit better
If you'd let me give the love I had

[Bridge]
Yeah, you've run a mighty good race
But now you've found the top of the mountain
It's a lonely place

[Chorus]
I could've told you
It could have been a little bit sweeter
Oh, yeah
But you had to do it all by yourself
And it could have been a little bit better
If you'd let me give the love I had
Could’ve been a little bit (Sweeter)
Oh yeah, yeah
It could’ve been a little bit better
I could've made it with you
It could’ve been a little bit sweeter
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Could've been a little bit (Sweeter)
Oh, a little bit better
