Time Won't Tell
Unveiling Unspoken Hearts: Sara Evans' 'Time Won't Tell' Reflections
Lyrics
Can't believe that after all this time
Expressing disbelief at the enduring impact of a past relationship.
You keep slipping back across my mind
Reflecting on how thoughts of the past lover persistently resurface.
Did we maybe leave the love behind afraid of what we felt
Wondering if fear caused them to abandon a love they once shared.
Other loves I've had have come and gone
Acknowledging previous romantic relationships that did not endure.
I don't know why, they just don't last too long
Expressing confusion about why those past loves were short-lived.
There are questions that go on and go
Highlighting lingering unresolved questions about the past.
That time won't tell
Emphasizing that time does not provide answers to those questions.
Time won't tell me how it might have been
Expressing frustration that time doesn't reveal how things could have been.
And time won't make what's wrong alright
Clarifying that time cannot fix or make right what went wrong.
It can only take me back again
Indicating that time only allows a return to past memories.
Feeling all those memories in black and white
Recalling and reliving past memories, possibly with a sense of nostalgia.
I watch his kiss good-bye that day
Remembering a farewell kiss and the moment of parting.
here's where you turn around and walk away
Noting the departure of the significant other.
Where were the words that would have made you stay
Expressing a desire for words that could have prevented the departure.
Time won't tell
Reiterating that time does not reveal the outcome or reasons for the separation.
No, time won't tell me how it might have been
Repeating the frustration that time doesn't disclose alternative outcomes.
And time won't make what's wrong alright
Reiterating that time cannot fix or rectify past mistakes.
It can only take me back again
Stating that time only allows revisiting memories, not changing the past.
Feeling all those memories in black and white
Continuing to experience memories, particularly in a somber tone.
You never see the road you didn't take
Reflecting on the roads not taken in life.
You never feel the love you failed to make
Expressing the inability to feel the impact of unrealized love.
But you never know might be the words to say
Considering that the right words might have changed the course of events.
And time won't tell
Reiterating that time remains silent on the roads untaken and words unspoken.
Time won't tell
Concluding that time does not reveal the unknown possibilities of the past.
