Lyrics

oh yes it's true
it happened to me it could happen to you my friend
just like you i'd heard it before
but i didn't believe in the words they said
now i'm gone
oh my god
it's been so long

all your phrases are written in white
i can't make out anything
am i blind? or just confused?
these pages are blank to me
someone say something so i can breathe
i'm not right
oh my god
it's been so long

but we must go on
now i know you can feel so come on
sing along
oh it's been so long
it's been so long

now your letters all fade into blue
so does the background and so do you
it's not new
it's happened to so many before
but it's never been easy my friends
we're so lost
oh my god
it's been so long

now i'm seeing red
are these voices devine or just in my head
i can't forget
your statements all blanket me
someone do something so i can see
show me a sign
oh my god
it's been so long

but we must be strong
now i know you can feel so come on
sing along
oh it's been so long
it's been so long

so long
