I Thought There Was Time
Regrets Echo in Blake Shelton's Melody of Lost Time
Lyrics
I knew something was the matter
I sensed that something was wrong
It really needed my attention
It required my immediate attention
And I had planned to look into it someday
I had intentions to address it in the future
But I was busy making money
But I was preoccupied with earning money
I wanted you to be proud of me
I desired your approval and pride in my achievements
Now I wish I could turn the clock back someway
Now I regret not being able to reverse time
I thought there was time
I believed there was ample time
I never thought that you would leave me
I never anticipated that you would leave me
I always thought that I could find you
I always assumed I could reach you easily
Somewhere near a phone to answer when I call
Near a phone to respond when I called
Now you have my full attention
Now, I am fully focused and attentive
Now you're all that I can think of
You are all that occupies my thoughts now
This is not what I expected at all
This situation is not what I expected
I thought there was time
I believed there was time
I thought there was time
-Are you even on this planet
Questioning if you are present in the moment
Can you see these pretty flowers
Asking if you can appreciate the beauty around
Or am I standing here just talking to the wind
Wondering if I am speaking to an empty space
How I wish that I had told you
Expressing regret for not confessing love earlier
How I wish that I had shouted
Wishing I had proclaimed my love passionately
I love you I love you I love you I love you back then
Repeating 'I love you' in hindsight
I thought there was time
I believed there was time
I thought there was time
-I thought there was time
-I thought there was time
