Too Long

As tiny drops of sanity,
run gently down her face,
she thinks back to a time when all was right,
and wonders what went wrong.
Then she's wept to sleep by the memory of the love that she once knew.
She dreams herself back to the place that slipped away so soon.
At 2 AM she wakes up wondering,
if she'll ever feel that way again.

And she says...
You know I've been alone too long... too long...
Cause I know that someone out there somewhere feels the same as me.
And I'm tired of living my life bound to memories.
I think I'll leave them all behind,
like I've needed to for too long... too long...

He wakes up momentarily,
as he rolls over in bed.
Then starts to curse the light that falls,
between the blinds onto his head.
Cause he thinks he let the only one he ever wanted get away.
But still he pulls himself out of the bed to start another day.
He swears that each day of his life,
gets worse than the day before.

And he says...
You know I've been alone too long... too long...
Cause I know that someone out there somewhere feels the same as me.
And I'm tired of living my life bound to memories.
I think I'll leave them all behind,
like I've needed to for too long... too long...

Yeah I've been alone too long... too long...
And I know that someone out there somewhere feels the same as me.
And I'm tired of living my life bound to memories.
I think I'll leave them all behind,
like I've needed to for too long... too long...
