Too long

I gave you my heart when you gave me your lies

Stayed through the storm, kept ignoring the signs

Thought love was enough, thought time would be kind

But I was just holdin’ on, wastin’ my life

Friends tried to tell me, I said they were wrong

Played the fool in your game for far too long

I loved the wrong one, way too long

Sang the same sad song, way too strong

Shoulda let go when it felt all wrong

But I held on… yeah, I held on

Your sorrys were sweet, but your actions were cold

Promises made, but they always got old

I painted red flags in a rosier tone

’Cause bein’ with you felt less lonely than alone

I lost myself tryin’ to make you stay

Now I see the price I had to pay

I loved the wrong one, way too long

Played your game and I played along

Shoulda known when I cried all night

That real love don’t ever feel that tight

Now I’m healing in the silence

Burned your pictures, broke the pattern

Took my heart back from your hands

Learned to love myself again

I loved the wrong one, but now I’m gone

Took back my power, found where I belong

Shoulda left when I felt that sting

But now I’m free… and I can finally sing
