​too long Lyrics by Arlie

wait - EP

2018

[Verse 1]
Wasn't this supposed to be fun?
But somewhere along the way it got heavy
Since I saw you from across the lawn, light as the day
You said I told you what you wanted to hear
Well, you might be right but I meant every word
I whispered into your ear, besides it did me the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Before, I could go completely alone for days at a time
Without getting lonely
But I guess you left a hole in my chest
You carved yourself a spot and now I left it open
[Chorus]
It's been too long
I need to hear your sweet voice again
Your sweet voice again
It's been too long
I need to hear your sweet voice again
Your sweet voice again
[Verse 2]
Well, I hated that I made you cry
You wear your heart on your sleeve
And now you wanna use it to wipe the tears outta your eyes
You're getting salt in the wound
I wish you'd credit me for how hard I tried
'Cause some day you'll find someone who loves you better
But first you gotta learn how to fly on your own
[Pre-Chorus]
Oooh, you had too many glasses
You say you don't remember that conversation
But I think you know how the saying goes
About the words that come out in that kinda state
You said stay, so I stayed quiet
For once in my life I knew what I had to do
[Chorus]
It's been too long
I need to hear your sweet voice again
Your sweet voice again
It's been too long
I need to hear your sweet voice again
Your sweet voice again
[Outro]
Wasn't this supposed to be fun?
But somewhere along the way it got heavy
Since I saw you from across the lawn, light as the day
