**LYRICS**

I could wait until you're sleeping
You'd never hear me leaving
Go without saying a word
I could write it in a letter
Maybe it'd be better
Who knows, it could make it worse

Save it for a rainy day
Baby, either way
I'm damning us straight to hell

Ten til three or half past nine
It'll never be a good time
To drop a bombshell

If I did a little drinkin'
May numb me into thinkin'
I could tell you face to face
If I hardened my heart
I'd tear us apart
So I wouldn't have to carry this weight

Here on my shoulders
I tell you it's over
'Stead of keepin' it to myself

Morning or midnight
It'll never be a good time
To drop a bombshell

I can't love you, I can't love you anymore
I can't love you, I can't love you anymore

Driving the smoke
Out of the ashes
Lookin' for a place to land
All that I know is
I can't go back
So I'm drivin' fast as I can

Picking up pieces
Praying to Jesus
Lord, I'm gonna need your help

It ain't the easy way
There's always a price to pay
For dropping a bombshell

Ten til three or half past nine
It'll never be a good time
