[Verse 1: Paula Toledo] Didn't work out the way I thought I must have mistaken myself for someone I was not, oh, no So I pushed myself to see how far I could go Didn't need to look that far to learn what I needed to know [Pre-Chorus 1: Paula Toledo with Jonathan Anderson] Didn't wanna be a quitter But I had to find my way [Chorus: Paula Toledo and Jonathan Anderson] How long (How long) will it take, oh-oh How long (How long) will it take me to feel? How long (How long) will it take, oh-oh How long until it's the way I thought it would be? When I won't aim to please [Verse 2: Paula Toledo] And you watched me draw the line Never to be cast again in the same light, oh, no And I don't blame you, they were choices I made Didn't wanna let you down, but I can't play it that safe [Pre-Chorus 2: Paula Toledo with Jonathan Anderson] In your mind am I a sinner Looking for relief? [Chorus: Paula Toledo and Jonathan Anderson] How long (How long) will it take, oh-oh How long (How long) will it take me to feel? How long (How long) will it take, oh-oh How long until it's the way I thought it would be? When I won't aim to please When I won't aim to please When I won't aim to please [Bridge] No, I won't be a doll in your pretty dollhouse No, I won't be the plaything that you can toss around No, I won't be the child who lives for acceptance No, I won't any longer live in my reflection [Chorus: Paula Toledo and Jonathan Anderson] How long will it take, oh-oh How long will it take me to feel? How long will it take, oh-oh How long will it take me to feel? How long (How long) will it take, oh-oh How long (How long) will it take me to feel? How long (How long) will it take, oh-oh How long until it's the way I thought it would be? When I won't aim to please When I won't aim to please When I won't aim to please
