Long Time Gone

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.

I didn't ask for this

I couldn't ask for that

I wouldn't ask for any change in plans

Am I ever right?

When you're such a brat

I feel much better in your hands

Try to take your word

I want to take you down

You never caught me lying

I'm trying not to shout

Wanna work it out

I've been so long denying

I'm a long time gone

Keeping your secrets for too long

Baby you ain't half of what you used to be

In this dim October sky

I've got no more tears left to cry

And I'm finally learning

That you can't be too strong

I'm a long time gone

When you understand

There's no one truth

And we're three-thousand miles apart

Try and act your age

And you're a flaming youth

You seek the end

But never start

If I'm a man

Do I have the strengh

To change what I'm becoming

I've been such a fool

Didn't want to lose

It's been a long time coming

I'm a long time gone

Keeping your secrets for too long

Baby you ain't half of what you used to be

In this dim October sky

I've got no more tears left to cry

And I'm finally learning

That you can't be too strong

I'm a long time gone

I'm a long time gone

I'm a long time gone

Keeping your secrets for too long

Baby you ain't half of what you used to be

In this dim October sky

I've got no more tears left to cry

And I'm finally learning

That you can't be too strong

I'm a long time gone

I'm a long time gone

I'm a long time gone

I'm a long time gone
