Long Road Back From Here

These lonely days have passed so slowly nothing seems to change No, I don't want to move on now, I'm not ready to turn the page I thought I could reach you from the bottom of a bottle I know I come on strong, I never learned to be subtle Since you moved, the plans we made don't seem to mean a thing I booked a flight to come out to see you, I saved up for a ring I can't find the will to work, don't have two dimes to scrape together Stay up all night to talk on the phone, when will you treat me better

It's a long road back from here I find myself praying to God that these feelings for you will disappear It's a long road back from here Baby, I still miss you a lot What will it take for you to shed a tear You don't need to placate me, you don't have to try to save me There's nothing I wouldn't do, you'll never find someone to be so good to you I'll say goodbye today, if there's nothing I can do to get you to stay Don't you know, oh baby, it's a long road back from here

These lonely nights keep getting longer, no one by my side All my friends are moving on, I'm the only one who ain't got a life They did their best to reach me, they said everything to get through All of it made so much sense, I just can't give up on you Since you went away, no matter who I see, I still feel alone You're the only one who understands, there's no one else I want to get to know Now you don't want to come back home, am I reason enough for you How am I supposed to believe after all this time that you'd stay true

It's a long road back from here I find myself praying to God that these feelings for you will disappear It's a long road back from here Baby, I still miss you a lot What will it take for you to shed a tear You don't need to placate me, you don't have to try to save me There's nothing I wouldn't do, you'll never find someone to be so good to you I'll say goodbye today, if there's nothing to get you to stay Cause don't you know, oh baby, it's a long road back from here

It's a long road back from here I find myself praying to God that these feelings will disappear It's a long road back from here Baby, I still miss you a lot What will it take for you to shed a tear You don't have to save me, you don't have to try to placate me Oh, there's nothing I wouldn't do, you'll never find someone to be so good to you Say goodbye today, I can see you're on your way It'll be a long road back from here It's a long road back from here
