My mouth it wasn't always empty
My hands they weren't always tied
Your pose, it was an awkward courtsey
My shirt had never felt so tight
Is this what it is?
It's all a matter of time
This is what it is
There's a difference what you have and what you leave behind

What you don't lose, what you don't take, what you can't fake
It's all a matter of time
What you don't lose, what you don't take, what you can't fake
These are cowards words and these words are mine

My teeth they weren't always crooked
My eyes, they didn't always lie
Your voice, it spoke to me like thunder
My clothes would nver fit right

This is what it is
It's all a matter of time
Is this what it is?
There's a difference what you have and what you leave behind

What you don't lose, what you don't take, what you can't fake
It's all a matter of time
What you don't lose, what you don't take, what you can't fake
These are cowards words and these words are mine

What you don't lose, what you don't take,
What you can't fake
It's all a matter of time
What you don't lose, what you don't take, what you can't fake
These are cowards words and these words are mine

What you don't lose, what you don't take, what you can't fake
It's all a matter of time
What you don't lose, what you don't take, what you can't fake
These are cowards words and these words are mine

What you don't lose, what you don't take, what you can't fake
It's all a matter of time
What you don't lose, what you don't take, what you can't fake
These are cowards words and these words are mine
