Long Year - Jackie Lee

It’s been a long year and I’m a little tired

Lived a whole life between 24 and 25

I’ve been to hell and back but I’ve never left right here

It’s been a long year, it’s been a long year

I cried like I’ve never cried

Nothing’s lost if you know where it is but still goodbye

Means there’s heaven for you there

But I’m still here, it’s been a long year

And if time’s the only thing that’s gonna heal this pain

Then why’s God stretching seconds into minutes, into days

Well I know you’d have a story and an answer for me

If you were still here

But you’re not here, and it’s been a long year

It’s been a long drive back to Tennessee

And I’m talking to you like you’re sitting next to me

Blinking back an ocean and trying to steer

It’s been a long year

And if time’s the only thing that’s gonna heal this pain

Then why’s God stretching seconds into minutes, into days

Well I know you’d have a story and an answer for me

If you were still here

But you’re not here, and it’s been a long year

I wake up haunted like I saw your ghost

Time was racing until you let go

Now it moves so slow

And if time’s the only thing that’s gonna heal this pain

Then why’s God stretching seconds into minutes, into days

Well I know you’d have a story and an answer for me

If you were still here, oh, but you’re not here

No you’re not here, and it’s been a long year

And I’m a little tired
