Lyrics
Been A Long Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The death, the lies, the lies, the truth
All that it is, what was, ain't true
I was down but now I can see
The pain, the hurt, the misery
Oh lord, it's been a long time
Doing my best I'll try and get it next time
This cross you bare I've come to carry for you
This cross you bare I've come to break it in two
I was down but now I can see
The pain, the hurt, the misery
