How Long

Never knew just what I wanted
Till I got some distance from you
Never knew I felt so smothered
Till I realized the truth
Why do we stay in things so long to avoid a little pain
When all we’ve really done is prolonged the feeling just the same

How long am I going to be (crying for him oh crying for me)
How long is this going to last( oh how I long to make it past)
How long are you willing to sit and stew( in the same pot he’s stirring for you)
Hong long cause I’m ready to get on with life how bout you

I’m ready for my escape from here
Face the challenge, confront my fear
Look the truth right in the eye
Let things go
Let em go my heart take flight
Life’s too long, also too short to feel this crazy
Oh for my heart to hurt
Yea life’s too long also too short
To feel this crazy
My heart to hurt

How long am I going to be (crying for him oh crying for me)
How long is this going to last( oh how I long to make it past)
How long are you willing to sit and stew( in the same pot he’s stirring for you)
Hong long cause I’m ready to get on with life how bout you

One day this will all be behind me
And something new will begin
In retrospect I feel grateful to have felt what I did
Until that day I’ll keep on
Music washes over me
Heal my heart, clear my thoughts
Helping to set my mind free
Ooohh yeaaa...music washes over me
Oohh healing my heart
Helping to set my mind free...my mind free

How long am I going to be (crying for him oh crying for me)
How long is this going to last( oh how I long to make it past)
How long are you willing to sit and stew( in the same pot he’s stirring for you)
Hong long cause I’m ready to get on with life how bout you
Get on now...get on now X8
