Been A Long Time

(album: Rise - 2019)

I can tell you've had enough
Why don't you say instead of straying?
Better do me right
'Cause every action speaks louder than words
Time I've wasted speculating
Trying to read your mind

And my love is losing grip
Why you trying to hold my heart to ransom?
Just admit you're giving in
Though it's hard to hear
You know the truth is
Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time

Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time

I confess you're out of touch
But you know, tell me to jump
I'm gonna ask how high
Won't you release me from your clutch?
Tired of faking, no debating
Look into my eyes

And see your love ain't losing grip
You ain't tryna hold my heart to ransom
That your heart ain't giving in
Though it's hard to hear
You know the truth is
Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time

Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long time since you looked into my eyes
Been a long time since you haven't heard me cry
Been a long time, baby, don't say goodbye
Been a long time, been a long time

Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long time
