Dave Barnes - How Long lyrics

rate me

You and I are living heavy hearted

Are we just another long goodbye?

In this land of the left and leaving

We know that we gotta try

How long can we go on?

Here in the middle we won't give a little

How long can we go on like this?

Oh, won't you tell me

How long can we go on?

Heartbreak is what it takes sometimes to see

But what about you and me?

How long?

How long?

Forgiveness is a heavy promise

It's a language that's so hard to speak

I'm hearing whispers by the darkest voices

But I know what you mean to me

So much to to me

How long can we go on?

Here in the middle we won't give a little

How long can we go on like this?

Oh, won't you tell me

How long can we go on?

Heartbreak is what it takes sometimes to see

But what about you and me?

How long?

How long?

All we are, we are

What we'll be, we'll be

You and I we gotta find the burned up bridge to each other's side

It's the only way to see

How long can we go on?

How long can we go on?

How long can we go on?

Barely living when nobody's giving in

How long can we go on like this?

Oh, won't you tell me

How long can we go on?

Heartbreak is what it takes sometimes to see

But what about you and me?

How long?

How long?

No it won't take a heartbreak

How long?
