[Verse 1] 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 it straight to Hell [Chorus] Ten to three, you're half past nine It'll never be a good time to drop a bombshell [Verse 2] If I did a little drinking, may numb me into thinking I could tell you face to face If I harden my heart, I'd tear us apart So I wouldn't have to carry this weight Here on my shoulder I'd tell you it's over 'stead of keeping it to myself [Chorus] Morning or midnight, it'll never be a good time To drop a bombshell [Bridge] I can't love you I can't love you anymore I can't love you I can't love you anymore [Verse 3] Driving through the smoke, out of the ashes Looking for a place to land All that I know is I can't go back, so I'm driving fast as I can Picking up pieces, praying to Jesus Lord, I'm gonna need your help [Chorus] It ain't the easy way There's always a price to pay for dropping a bombshell Ten to three, you're half past nine It'll never be a good time
