[Verse 1]
I'm heartsick
And well rehearsed
Highly decorated
With a badge that reads
"It could be worse"
So prideful I choose
To live in disguise
With a levee set
For my heavy eyes

[Chorus 1]
I apologize for the grief
When you'd refuse to eat
I didn't know
Just what to say
While watching you
Wither away

[Verse 2]
I'm homesick
And living in the past
Seemingly unfazed and strong if anyone asks
I'm keeping up appearances with white lies
With a levee set
For my heavy eyes
[Chorus 2]
I apologize for the grief
When you'd talk about belief
I didn't know
Just what to say
While watching you
Wither away

[Bridge]
It was time this whole time
It was time this whole time
It was time this whole time
We can't undo or rewind

Just a simple conversation
About nothing much at all
Couldn't keep me in the room
I just kept walking
Down the hall
But now I understand
Just what a fool I'd been
No matter what the context
I won't have that time again
(And I'll live with that)

[Chorus 3]
I took inventory
Of what I took for granted
And I ended up with more than I imagined
I've kept it bottled up and to myself in the cellar
Kept for my ever-changing mental health
[Outro]
It was time this whole time
I took inventory of what I took for granted
And I ended up with more than I imagined
It was time this whole time
I've kept it bottled up and to myself in the cellar
Kept for my ever-changing mental health
