Time For Something New ©2003 Jon T. Howard

I woke up early in the morning on that day
Just as the sun was burning through the haze
She met me in the kitchen with a half smile
That caught me a little off guard
She said I’ve been up for hours and I couldn’t sleep
With a head full of thoughts and an empty well of dreams
And with tears in her eyes
She said we need to talk

And I still remember the smell of fresh coffee filled the room
She said a change well it might be right for me and you
And as much as it hurt I knew it was true
It was time for something new
It was time for something new

I reached out in desperation and I tried to pull her near
But the way she leaned away made every word she had said so clear
I just sat there in the unbearable silence of the painful truth
Then all my pride cried out surely we can work this through
After all this time we’ve been together
Isn’t that the least we can try to do?
She said don t make this any harder
Than it has to be it’s over now over now

And I still remember the smell of fresh coffee filled the room
She said a change well it might be right for me and you
And as much as it hurt I knew it was true
It was time for something new
Time for something new

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over now goodbye
She said it’s over, it’s over goodbye now
Goodbye now, goodbye now, goodbye now
It was time for something new

And I still remember the smell of fresh coffee filled the room
She said a change well it might be right for me and you
And as much as it hurt oh I knew it was true
Yeah I knew it was true, oh I knew it was true
It was time for something new
Time for something new
It was time for something new
Time for something new

What brought us to this place far from where we began
When every waking moment was never enough time to have
Here we are like strangers grown so far apart
Willing to break every promise we ever made
To never break each other’s heart
