Dolly Parton › Lyrics › Time for Me to Fly

I've been around for you, been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I swallowed my pride for you, I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You've got me stealing your love away, 'cause you never give it
Peeling the years away, we can't relive it
I make you laugh and you make me cry, I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly, got to set myself free
That's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out, you said that you had no doubt
I thought we were really in love
Oh but I'm tired of holding on to a feeling I know is gone
I do believe I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness of a worn out relation
Enough of this jealousy and intoleration
I wonder why I even try, I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly, I've got to set myself free
That's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly, time for me to fly

Time for me to fly, I've got to set myself free
That's just how it's got to be
I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly
That's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
