Joshua Bassett Debuts ‘Only a Matter of Time’ Single and Music Video

By  | 

Joshua Bassett debuted his latest single and music video for “Only a Matter of Time.”

“I wrote this song in the summer of 2020 in a moment in time where social media was bringing a lot of darkness to my life. It was healing to put my phone down, turn off the noise and just write,” he said in a press release. “There’s good that comes from social media, but it’s also become a place where people can say anything about anyone, no matter how false or damaging with no accountability. We’ve gotta be much kinder to each other and recognize there are real people behind the screens!”

Bassett co-wrote the song alongside Amy Wadge. His upcoming self-titled EP will be self-produced. He also co-wrote all of the songs and even played five of the instruments on it. Joshua Bassett debuts on February 26.

Last year, Joshua released his first original songs, “Common Sense” and “Anyone Else.” which have over 20 million streams.

“Only A Matter Of Time” Lyrics

Look me in the eyes
Tell me you’re not lying to me
See through your disguise
You can’t keep on hiding from me
Time to make it right
So why are you still sayin’ I’m wrong?
Well it’s only a matter of

Time to set it straight
Time to tell the world that you’ve been lying on my name
Doing what you want and think you’re gonna get away
Well I’ll leave it up to faith for now
But it’s only a matter of time

An eye for an eye you’ll go blind
When did you stop being kind?
You twisted your words like a knife
Well I’m sure that you’re hurting inside

But why would you make your pain mine?
You’re making me pay for your crimes
Well darling I’ll be fine
But it’s only a matter of

It ain’t over yet
You can’t tear me down and act like I will just forget
When karma comes around then you’ll be drowning in regret
But it’s not about revenge tonight
No it’s only a matter of time

An eye for an eye you’ll go blind
When did you stop being kind?
You twisted your words like a knife

Pick myself up off the floor you can’t hurt me
No more of this endless charade
I’m not playing your game
You can say what you like
Doesn’t mean that you’re right
Are you glad you got that out
Do you feel better now?
Do you feel better now?

Time
An eye for an eye you’ll go blind
When did you stop being kind?
You twisted your words like a knife
Well I’m sure that you’re hurting inside

But why would you make your pain mine
You’re making me pay for your crimes
Well darling I’ll be fine
But it’s only a matter of time
