I've been around for you
  Been up and down for you
  But I just can't get any relief
  I've 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
  Peelin' the years away
  And we can't relive it
  I make you laugh and you make me cry
  I believe it's time for me to fly
  Chorus:
  
  Time for me to fly
  I've got to set myself free
  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
  
  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
  
  Chorus:
  
  Time for me to fly
  I've got to set myself free
  Time for me to fly
  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 got to set myself free
  Time for me to fly
  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
