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.
It's nice of you to say
We can still be friends
But what I need the most
Is never gonna be again
Sure I always knew we were worlds apart
But that don't help the sadness in my heart
It's gonna take a long time
To get you off my mind
Love like yours is hard to find
You'll never be mine
It's gonna take a long time
1234
Oh when we were together
Life was so complete
An' then you met that girl
An' I could not compete
Oh you are like a magnet with your ways
An' that's what I remember everyday
It's gonna take a long time
To get you off of my mind
Love like yours is hard to find
You'll never be mine
It's gonna take a long time
1234
Love is so complex
That's why I'm upset
Cause I'm no good for you
But still I can't forget
You can always wake the beast in me
That's the thing that never lets me be
It's gonna take a long time
To get you off of my mind
Love like yours is hard to find
You'll never be mine
It's gonna take a long time
1234
