Lyrics

You Been Gone So Long
© 2004 Chris Howard

If there's nothing I can tell you
That you don't already know
If I've taken these old chords
As far as they will go
Ooh ... let me know

If I'm looking hungry
There's a fire in my belly
I'm trying to rip the pages
Out of our history
Ooh ... let them go

Chorus:
For too long now
I've been covering up my wounds with songs
I got used to it babe
You been gone so long

If I'm running late
I'm running out of time
And I need your sweetheart
To take the bitter taste out of my life
Ooh ... let it go
Ooh ... come on home

Chorus
For too long now
I've been covering up my wounds with songs
I got used to it babe
You been gone so long

Mid 8:
I know you don't understand
All the things I've been trying to say
I just want you to know
I'm sorry for all the time I stole away ... hey

Chorus:
For too long now
I've been covering up my wounds with songs
I got used to it babe
You been gone so long
