Lyrics

How Long?

Verse#1:
I was so blind
Not to see
Mr. Right was right in front of my eyes
He?s on my mind
Constantly
Everyday I sit and agonize

Chorus:
How long, does it take?
For this emptiness to subside
How long, will this ache
Wake me up every single time
How long, will this wave
Of memories keep flooding my mind
How long, will his face
Be the last thing I see at night

Verse#2:
Pushed him away
Stupid me
Too afraid I?d make another mistake
The price I paid
Was too steep
Every night I lay in bed awake

Chorus:
How long, does it take?
For this emptiness to subside
How long, will this ache
Wake me up every single time
How long, will this wave
Of memories keep flooding my mind
How long, will his face
Be the last thing I see at night

Bridge:
I pace my apartment with his t-shirt on
Listening to the music then I hear our song
It takes me back to a time and place
Feels like I?m sinking and I can?t escape

Chorus:
How long, does it take?
For this emptiness to subside
How long, will this ache
Wake me up every single time
How long, will this wave
Of memories keep flooding my mind
How long, will his face
Be the last thing I see at night
