Jimmy Cliff - Time Will Tell
I do not regret loving you.
I do not hate the memories we did get to share or the way you took my breath away every time I saw you. I cherish the way your kisses made me melt into you, and those eyes...they stopped time.
I do not regret you, the love of my life. Nor will I ever forget you...why would I ever want to?
Though you tore me down, stole part of my heart, and burned part of my soul, one thing I will do is survive you.
You are NOT the worst thing this world has thrown at me. You are not the voice of all those lives I have touched that actually value me in their lives. You were not a friend to me, though you were my best friend for a fleeting moment. I will survive you.
I will survive the destruction of my love and the sunny disposition I once possessed before you colored my eyes with grey clouds and raindrops.
You may be a huge loss to me, and maybe I was to you as well, I guess I won't ever know that, but you are not the greatest loss I have had, nor will I allow you to be the loss that destroys my heart fully.
I will walk on, tears in my eyes, but I will survive you, babe! This time, and every time. Because unlike you. Mike, my love, The wolf I wanted to feed was love...The wolf you were feeding was fear...Your wolf won...but my wolf still survived babe. I still love you.
