How Long - Mesh

If we ever write the play

We’d never need to rehearse

Cause everything we say

Someone said it first

The light is fading

And so are we

We both need saving

We’re just too tired of everything

And how long?

And how much pain?

Do we need to feel

Before we start again

And how long?

Do we need to cry?

Before the tears grow cold

Before the lies run dry

Never live the dream

Cause that’s what dreaming’s for

But everything we’ve done

Someone’s done before

The bell is sounding

For you and me

And I can’t watch you drowning

But you won’t take a hand from me

And how long?

And how much pain?

Do we need to feel

Before we start again

And how long?

Do we need to cry?

Before the tears grow cold

Before the lies run dry

And I

I didn’t want this

I should’ve been there

I could’ve stopped this

Heart for you

And how long?

And how much pain?

Do we need to feel

Before we start again

And how long?

Do we need to cry?

Before the tears grow cold

Before the lies run dry

I didn’t want this

I did it anyway

I didn’t want this

I did it anyway

And I
