It’s been so long
Since I’ve woken to an empty bed
It’s been so long
Since I’ve had septic thoughts suffocate my head
Your eyes so blue,
I could stare for endless years
Cutting through the fog, you make me feel
Make me feel like I’m close to tears
Once seeking comfort from those
Who closed their blinds on my twisted mind
You wouldn’t understand what I’ve been through
And the pieces that I’ve left behind
The time has finally come
To move forward and forget the past
Like the cigarettes I used to smoke
That façade is now nothing but ash
It’s been so long
One foot in heaven, one in the grave
Shackled by a pain
this lovestruck fool you’ve willingly saved
Your eyes so blue,
I could stare for all of time
The time for change is now
I am yours, and you are mine.

It’s been so long
Since I’ve woken to an empty bed
It’s been so long
Since I’ve had septic thoughts suffocate my head
Your eyes so blue,
I could stare for endless years
Cutting through the fog, you make me feel
Make me feel like I’m close to tears
Once seeking comfort from those
Who closed their blinds on my twisted mind
You wouldn’t understand what I’ve been through
And the pieces that I’ve left behind
The time has finally come
To move forward and forget the past
Like the cigarettes I used to smoke
That façade is now nothing but ash
It’s been so long
One foot in heaven, one in the grave
Shackled by a pain
this lovestruck fool you’ve willingly saved
Your eyes so blue,
I could stare for all of time
The time for change is now
I am yours, and you are mine.
