How Long's It Been?

HOW LONGS IT BEEN?
Has it been long enough?
Have your cuts started to heal?
Has it been long enough?
Don’t wake me up until it’s been long enough and the bygones have gone by.
When it’s been long enough to finally look you in the eye.
My letters keep coming back,
alone in a separate stack: unopened and unread apologies.
Each day you drift further away and the good memories start to give way.
I never meant to hurt you so badly.
Has it been long enough?
Will you allow me to try and atone?
Has it been long enough or have you found a love of your own?
How long can you rebuff?
Will you take this grudge to the grave?
Has it been long enough to forgive me for how I behaved?
And maybe I’ve got no shame to even dream of calling
your name after all the pain I’ve caused with pride.
Truth is I never meant to hurt you or cause you offense.
I’ve learned the consequence of this joy ride.
Has it been long enough?
Does my name still make you ache?
Has it been long enough?
Haven’t you ever made a mistake?
Cause it’s been long enough and I’ve got some scars of my own.
Has it been long enough for you to finally come home?
How longs it been?
I think it’s been long enough.
How longs it been?
I think it’s been long enough.
How longs it been?
I think it’s been long enough.
How longs it been?
