You're leaving now 
It's in your eyes 
There's no disguising it 
It really comes as no surprise 
To find that you planned it all along 

I see it now 
Becomes so clear 
Your insincerity 
And me all starry-eyed 
You'd think that I would have known by now 

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky 
The lie is over 
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over 

CHORUS: 
Only time will tell 
One thing is sure 
That time will tell 
Only time will tell 
If you were wrong 
The brightest ring around the moon 
Will darken when I die 

Now sure as the sun will cross the sky 
The lying's over 
Gone, like the tears that used to tide me over 

You're leaving now 
It's in your eyes 
There's no disguising it 
It really comes as no surprise 
To find that you planned it all along 

Only time will tell 
I see it now, become so clear 
Only time will tell 
Your insincerity 
And me all starry-eyed 
You'd think that I would have known by now 

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky 
The lie is over 
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over 

Only time will tell 
You're on your own inside your room 
Only time will tell 
You're claiming victory 
You were just using me 
And there is no one you can use now 
Only time will tell 
One thing is sure...
