I've seen all the movies that teach you to hope
I've read all the books that you read when you're broke
I even got into the moon landing hoax
Where is my mind?
I've been to the doctors
I've been to the church
I've found all the medicine men on the earth
But all of their medicine's making me worse
Oh, my-my
If time is a healer
How long will it be?
Before I recover, before I can feel
Love for the bruised and the broken in me
If time is a healer
It's patient with me
I fall into love at the speed of the light
Then leave like a kid who's afraid of the night
I live in a permanent state of disguise
Oh, my-my
I'm praying for patience
I'm praying for peace
I try to forget who I thought I should be
I'm burning it up at a thousand degrees
If time is a healer
It's patient with me
Over the hillside
Into a dream
I will stand in the sunlight
And fall to my knees
Maybe I'm crazy
But I need to believe
If time is a healer
How long will it be?
Before I recover, before I can feel
Love for the bruised and the broken in me
If time is a healer
It's patient with me
