too long - Arlie

Wasn’t this supposed to be fun?

But somewhere along the way it got heavy

Since I saw you from across the lawn, light as the day

You said I told you what you wanted to hear

Well, you might be right but I meant every word

I whispered into your ear, besides it did me the same

Before, I could go completely alone for days at a time

Without getting lonely

But I guess you left a hole in my chest

You carved yourself a spot and now I left it open

It’s been too long

I need to hear your sweet voice again

Your sweet voice again

It’s been too long

I need to hear your sweet voice again

Your sweet voice again

Well, I hated that I made you cry

You wear your heart on your sleeve

And now you wanna use it to wipe the tears outta your eyes

You’re getting salt in the wound

I wish you’d credit me for how hard I tried

'Cause some day you’ll find someone who loves you better

But first you gotta learn how to fly on your own

Oooh, you had too many glasses

You say you don’t remember that conversation

But I think you know how the saying goes

About the words that come out in that kinda state

You said stay, so I stayed quiet

For once in my life I knew what I had to do

It’s been too long

I need to hear your sweet voice again

Your sweet voice again

It’s been too long

I need to hear your sweet voice again

Your sweet voice again

Wasn’t this supposed to be fun?

But somewhere along the way it got heavy

Since I saw you from across the lawn, light as the day
