Time For Me To Fly Lyrics
I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough
I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
Oh, don't you know it's...
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
It's time for me to fly...
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

he loves her more than she loves him. she swears that they're in love, but he knows its not there nad that they won't work it out. he treats her right ('i make you laugh') and she walks all over him ('and you make me cry') so he leaves her.
Agreed!
Agreed!
A painful break-up.
But a very prettily-written one.
Story of my life. Period
The meaning is: I love you to much You dont love me enough Good bye. (and sometimes screw you)
Thats pretty much the point of the song
It's about his forbearance of guilt that he gave up everything for to steal her love. But she could not could not see beyond her selfishness and intolerance to be with him.
"I've had enough of the falseness Of a worn out relation Enough of the jealousy And the intoleration"
her demands are overbearing and he has decided to move on.
Being a Butterflyer this song has gotten me thru a lot of work outs.
It's Time for Me to Fly.
it basically describes my relationship.. he's lied so much to me.. i'm sick of it.. i need out soon
He had a great time being with her to start with, but now he's losing the connection with her. He's tired of all the pain he has to go through(the line I make you laugh, and you make me cry..clearly saying it's too hard for him). He has no choice but says, "it's time for me to fly".
Possibly REO's best song.
hmmm... this is the way felt and feel about my exfiance and relationships in general right now
This song I can relate to. Because it describes my marriage to my ex-husband to a T.
The Who-Dey made a R&B cover of this song.
