Takes Me A Long Time Lyrics by Chlöe Howl

2014

[Verse 1]
Hard work was I?
Was I not worth the wait?
You let me down for her
And you knew it was my birthday
Now every time I see you
I wish I could feel sad
That we got near, ridiculously near
You’re bored of it, you’ve had enough
I know it’s late and I should give it up
Don’t wanna ruin another night
I just need you to know

[Chorus]
It takes me a long time
It takes me a long time
To trust somebody like you
It took a long time
It took me a long time
And you backed off like I usually do

[Verse 2]
You did this
You encouraged me
But I must have really got there in the end
Bloody fool indeed
Literally the next day I discover
You’d found your easy ride
And you say “yeah whats the big deal?”
It isn’t what I want to hear
But better now than in a year
You’ll never ruin another night
I just need you to know

[Chorus]
It takes me a long time
It takes me a long time
To trust somebody like you
It took a long time
It took me a long time
And you backed off like I usually do

[Bridge]
Well I can see four ways that this can be explained
Either you’ve been a liar all along
Or you’re feeling strange
Maybe I’m to blame
Or maybe the whole thing was in my mind

[Chorus]
It takes me a long time
It takes me a long time
To trust somebody like you
It took a long time
It took me a long time
And you backed off like I usually do
