Too long
Don’t hate her when she smiles at you
Or despise her for her eyes’ blue hue
Think of how much you’re losing
On this path that you’re choosing
And even though it’s not you that she kisses
And at night’s end it’s not you that she misses
She loves you for the friend you will always be
She remembers you for when you created memory
Chorus:
How long are you gonna make her suffer
For loving another
Hasn’t this gone on too long?
How long are you gonna make her suffer
For taking a lover
Hasn’t this gone on too long?
She loathes you for the dagger in her heart
She hates you for you’ve torn her apart
Her only crime is loving too much
And only time will show you as such
Life’s too short for grimace and grudge
For transforming sweet rivers to sludge
For lacking perspective and losing the plot
For sacrificing the worthy for pursuits that are not
Chorus
No good comes from pain so sharp
From stumbling and slipping blindly in this dark
From creating barriers and putting up walls
From shattering dreams and ignoring her calls
For her broken heart is malice free
Pure of intent and ocean deep
And though your pain incites this hate
Stop this now before it’s too late
Chorus
