It's been a long way down
From what I was then to what I'm now
I was up there and baby you were proud
Yeah, it's been a long way down
It's been a slow road back
To having nothing again, from having that
You were mine babe, and we were right on track
Yeah, it's been a slow road back
It's been a long way down
I was high, but you were right about how
The higher you get on love
The longer it takes to forget and get out of
It's been a hard trail home
We went somewhere I've never known
From living it up Babe, to waking up alone
It's been a hard trail home
It's been a long way down
I was high, but you were right about how
The longer the dream goes on
The harder the fall will seem when it has gone
It's been a long way down
We had everything heaven would allow
From the dizzy heights to the life I'm living now
It's been a long way down
