Time Of Day

Song by Jelly Roll

& mgk

Yeah
‘Cause even a spotlight or a movie
Couldn’t show the side that I’ve been hiding lately
And lately
They say the old me’s not the new me
But the same me still inside that I’m containing
Unchain me

And I don’t cry like I used to
‘Cause I know these tears don’t wash my sins away
And I don’t pray like I used to
‘Cause I don’t think I deserve the time of day

Listen, I’m sorry
Since you saw me
I’ve sought through bones, took my heart out my body
Heaven forgot me
‘Cause I’m longing for the times when time was nonexistent
Kaleidoscope eyes I envision
Combine our lives with a two-word sentence
You said “I do” but I did not listen

And I don’t cry like I used to
‘Cause I know these tears don’t wash my sins away
They don’t wash them away now
And I don’t pray like I used to
I don’t pray ’cause I
‘Cause I don’t think I deserve the time of day

The cross I bear I wear for my protection (I wear for my protection)
I’m bending and I’m searching for connections (Searching for connections)
I barely recognize my own reflection (It’s my own reflection)
‘Cause all I ever wanted was acceptance
I fear rejection

And I don’t cry like I used to
I don’t cry
‘Cause I know these tears don’t wash my sins away
Wash my sins away
And I don’t pray like I used to
I don’t pray no more
‘Cause I don’t think I deserve the time of day
