[Verse 1]

I hear them say

They say that you were never real

You look at me

And whisper bliss into my ear

So they say

They say that time will always heal

But look at me

And ask me how I really feel

I can't stop time!

I can't relive my past!

I'm left with a vacant memory

Of how my life is moving way too fast

[Pre-Chorus]

Turn back!

[Chorus]

It's just like clockwork (Clockwork!)

Watch me kiss my youth goodbye (Goodbye!)

All I wanted was to turn back time (To turn back time!)

[Bridge]

The time lays waste to ashes

My soul lays waste the broken mind

The time lays waste to ashes

My soul lays waste the broken mind

[Pre-Chorus]

Turn back!

[Chorus]

It's just like clockwork (Clockwork!)

Watch me kiss my youth goodbye (Goodbye!)

All I wanted was to turn back time (To turn back time!)

[Verse 2]

I'm begging on my knees

Turn back! Turn back!

Oh, won't you spare me please?

I'm pleading! I'm grieving!

I can't fulfill my eternity

Eternity please, let me be

Just let me live again

[Pre-Chorus]

Turn back!

[Chorus]

It's just like clockwork (Clockwork!)

Watch me kiss my youth goodbye

All I wanted was to turn back time

[Verse 3]

We'll say our goodbyes

Then slowly lay down to die

Our lives like clockwork

Another second simply flies on by

Goodbye!

[Verse 4]

And now they'll say!

They'll say that I was never real

Forgotten life!

A song that no one sang again

And I will be

A memory that will never heal

I turn to God

She whispers bliss into my ear

[Bridge]

It's just like clockwork

Just let me go

Let me go!

[Outro]

The time lays waste to ashes

My soul lays waste the broken mind
