[Verse 1]
Every time I let you go
Somehow deep inside I know
That it's not really goodbye
Despite the tears in my eyes
You always walk back in my life
Exactly at the wrong time
Just when I'm trying to decide
Who I want by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
Time's never been so good to us
It's never the right time
But it's the only thing I trust

[Chorus]
I'll never get over you
You know
Your way back, don't you?
You're like the spring and bloom
Every year the energy is new
You just don't die, do you?
It's torture what I go through
Some may call me a fool
But I can't live without it

[Verse 2]
Every time I tell myself
To forget you for my own health
I'm trying, god it feels like hell
I get into a deep depression
I think by now I've learned my lesson
But it's something I can't help

[Pre-Chorus]
Time's never been so good to us
It's never the right time
But it's the only thing I trust

[Chorus]
I'll never get over you
You know
Your way back, don't you?
You're like the spring and bloom
Every year the energy is new
You just don't die, do you?
It's torture what I go through
Some may call me a fool
But I can't live without it

[Bridge]
It's never the right time
It's never the right time
It's never the right time for us
Is it just a dream?
Is it just a dream to me?
With no end
Yeah I can see

[Chorus]
I'll never get over you
You know
Your way back, don't you?
You're like the spring and bloom
Every year I feel something new
You just don't die, do you?
It's torture what I go through
Some may call me a fool
But I can't live without it

[Chorus]
I'll never get over you
You know
Your way back, don't you?
You're like the spring and bloom
Every year the energy is new
You just don't die, do you?
It's torture what I go through
Some may call me a fool
But I can't live without it

It's never the right time (Never the right time)
It's never the right time (Never the right time)
It's never the right time (Never the right time for us)
