It's Been A Long Time Lyrics
I know there's a hole inside of me that's nine foot wide Yes I know cause I've tried to fill it up with foolish pride And You go and You take my trophies off the ledges Idols I had kept instead of wanting what was real I know that I've worn a thousand costumes in my life Yes I know so that no one else could see me deep inside And You go and peel away from the perfect faces Dust me off and then You say it's Time to be yourself
~Chorus~ ~And it's been a long time~ ~Been a long time~ ~Been a long time for me~ ~You've opened my eyes~ ~And I've realized~ ~It's been a long time to see~ ~Who I am.....~
I know there's a little boy in me trapped deep inside Yes I know he's so afraid to fail and so he hides And You go and You open up a door within me Take him by the hand and say we need to step outside
(Chorus)
And like a bird I want to fly away from here Don't want to look inside this broken heart of mine It's where You tell me there's so much I have To give away So much to give to You So much I buried deep inside of me Beyond a wall of memories You brought me here to set me free The more I look the more I see that
