Forever Took Too Long
FI’ve been trying, GoCd knows how long,
Dmto piece my heart back tBbogether.
NFow here I am back in our Chometown,
Dmyou never answered my lBbetters.
AIs Bbyour dad still workin’? CAnd how’s your mom?
WFe haven’t talked siCnce last DBbecember.
AI Bbknow it’s been some time since I’ve bCeen gone,
Bbbut you said you’d wait fCorever.
FI guess fCorever took too loBbng.
FI guess I shouldn’t have Cleft you, Dhangin’ oBbn.
FI guess you couldn’t wCait, my lDeavin was wBbrong.
AI Bbguess foreveCr took too loFng.
Was I the only one who thought this would last?
If I was wrong then you can tell me.
Now I don’t mean to be living in the past,
I just can’t believe you don’t love me.
How can you stand there and say the love has died,
you know I can still remember,
how you turned from me with tears in your eyes,
and swore you’d love me forever.
I guess forever took too long.
I guess I shouldn’t have left you, hangin’ on.
I guess you couldn’t wait, my leavin was wrong.
I guess forever took too long.
