I Didn't Know What Time It Was

歌詞

He said, "Goodbye.", from the edge of the porch Like she'd been some casual friend He said, "You're better off without me, I'm not what you need." Like her mama had said about him. He started the car, pulled out of the drive Didn't waste any time looking back She watched him go, thinking, even a stranger Would show more compassion than that. She could've cried, but she didn't have time She had a baby to feed A pink blanket to find To rock their little one to sleep She could've laid in bed for hours Giving misery the power But she didn't have time. She got a sitter, and she got a job 'Cause she had a promise to keep Her day was the factory, and evening survival And night was exhaustion and sleep. Sometimes she felt life was passing her by And watching was all she could do Her friends said, "You gotta get outta the house, And maybe you'll meet someone new." She could've tried, but she didn't have time She had a 5-year-old to feed She had ballet class, piano lessons, And t-ball little league She could've laid awake for hours Giving lonely nights the power But she didn't have time. Not time where would she'd find The time to trust a man again Not time for that flat tire, A crowded parking lot, and then. And then not time but yes have coffee with The man that got her tire fixed She was thinking, gosh, he's handsome When he asked, "Do you have kids?" She could've lied, but she didn't have time All she said was, "She's five." He said, "I saw the car seat, I love kids, does she have your eyes?" And they sat and talked for hours Giving destiny it's power She could've been afraid to fall in love that night But she didn't have time. She could've been afraid to fall in love that night But she didn't have time
