Lyrics
Gone Too Long
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 need to find somebody to hold
I need to tell myself that I, I'm not alone
To find a future out in the cold
To find a future
I apologise for all the shit I've done
I know I said forever but maybe I was wrong
Maybe I've been gone too long
I can't define my feeling for you
There's no one left this time to whisper the truth
To find a future, no turning back
I need to find a future
I apologise for all the shit I've done
(Gone, gone too long)
She said "I know you're trying, honey
But maybe you've been gone (gone too long)
You've been gone too long"
To find a future
To find a future
To call my own
I apologise for all the shit I've done
(Gone, gone too long)
She said "I know you're trying, honey
I really know you're trying
But when you said forever
You know that you were lying
You've been gone
(Gone, gone too long)
You know that you've been gone
(Gone, gone too long)
Yea you know that you've been gone
(Gone, gone too long)
You've been gone too long
Gone too long"
I've been gone too long
