How Long - Allison Crowe

It took me so long to understand

who I needed to be for myself

and it took me too long to realize

that I didn’t need anybody else

so now I’m sitting here in silence

and all I can feel is regret

and it seems to be so easy for you now

but its not so easy for me to forget

how long do I have to wait here?

you leave me standing in the cold

how long will it take you to remember

while you’re still alive and growing old

I’m the only one who cares about you

so roll me over

shut me out

if that’s what you feel possessed to do whatever helps to get you through the night

yeah it may kill me but I’ll still love you

how long do I have to wait here

you leave me standing in the cold

how long will it take you to remember

while you’re still alive and growing old

I’m the only one who cares about you

I am

I am the only one

I am

I am…

how long do I have to wait here

you leave me standing in the cold

how long will it take you to remember

while you’re still alive and growing old

I’m the only one, I am the only one

I am you leave me standing in the cold

how long will it take for you to realize

that I am gone?
