Long Time Coming
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've got a lying smile I never put out for you
'Cause I guess I never felt like I really needed to
And they say little girls have big dreams
And nothing in the world was gonna come between
Me and you
And it was a long time coming
I waited half my life just to find someone like you
I spent a long time finding out
Love hangs around after you walk out
Not knowing it'd be a long time going
They say: It's better to have lost than never to have loved at all
And I say: Whoever said that, didn't have too far to fall
And they say little girls are so naive
That wasn't how it was supposed to be with
Me and you
And it was a long time coming
I waited half my life just to find someone like you
I spent a long time finding out
Love hangs around after you walk out
Not knowing it'd be a long time going
I've burned my bridges, had sleepless nights
Washed my sins on the neon lights
And I'm still not over you
And it was a long time coming
I waited half my life just to find someone like you
I spent a long time finding out
Love hangs around after you walk out
Not knowing it would be a long time going
A long time going
And it would be a long time, long time going
It would be a long time, long time going
Going
