Too Long

The torn up pages lay on the floor
The words just don't seem to come out anymore
My heart lays there broken
Filled with words unspoken
That I wanted to tell you in this song
But, it's been too long

Too many years since we last said goodbye
Too many years since you last saw me cry
Too many years since I had my arms around you
Too many years since we last said I love you

I wanted to write you a love song
One that made our fight seem so wrong
But the words aren't right
All I think of is the fight
I want to send you the right feelings in this song
But, it's been too long

Too many years since we last said goodbye
Too many years since you last saw me cry
Too many years since I had my arms around you
Too many years since we last said I love you

The only words that seem to come out are, “Come back to me! We'll work it out!
I just want you! And I want to say I love you!”

But that seems to sound so empty
My voice seems so airy
The words just sound hollow
And it’s just hard to swallow
That I can't tell you my heart in this song
Cause it's been too long.

The feelings are almost faded and gone
I hope it hasn't been too long.
