[Verse 1]
Devil sat by me in a bar
Two ice cubes, one old scar
I asked him, "what took sooo long?"
He smiled like he knew my song
Mama said I was black sheep
Dad said boys like you don't keep
I keep old pictures in my head
And every one of them feels dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Cold soul, red eyes
Life hurts when you don't lie
I been driving way too fast
Trying not to feel the past
[Chorus]
What took sooo long
What took sooo long
I been breaking all along
What took sooo long
What took sooo long
I been lonely in my bones
[Verse 2]
Childhood fades in a cracked-up flash
Schoolyard dust and a busted dash
Sleep won't come when the moon gets mean
I see my younger face in the screen
Bottle turns, and the room gets thin
Devil laughs like he’s my kin
He said, "boy, you wore that hurt so well"
I said, "I know, it’s hard to tell"
[Pre-Chorus]
Cold soul, red eyes
Life hurts when you don't lie
I been driving way too fast
Trying not to feel the past
[Chorus]
What took sooo long
What took sooo long
I been breaking all along
What took sooo long
What took sooo long
I been lonely in my bones
[Bridge]
Time don't heal, it just leans on the wound
Memories bite when the night is too soon
I toast the glass, let it burn my throat
Some days I drown in the words I wrote
[Chorus]
What took sooo long
What took sooo long
I been breaking all along
What took sooo long
What took sooo long
I been lonely in my bones
