[Verse 1]
You think there's a shelf life to
This happiness you're working on
I wanna talk a lot about
The fact I used to feel alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Pity you can hurt yourself like I did
Understanding who's in control
I wish that I could promise
There's a finish line I've seen before

[Chorus]
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, just give it time

[Verse 2]
You think being patient isn't fixing
Doesn't work at all
You wanna talk about the way
You see the world in monochrome

[Pre-Chorus]
Pity you can hurt yourself like I did
Understanding who's in control
I wish that I could promise
There's a finish line I've seen before

[Chorus]
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, just give it time

[Chorus]
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, just give it time
[Chorus]
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, you need a little more time

[Chorus]
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, just give it time
Ooh, you need a little more time
