"Long Long Way" lyrics

Long Long Way

It happens every time I think about the reasons why
I'm sitting here alone at night and not with you
Heartache takes control and lets me know
Just what a fool I was
And how you can't erase the things you do
And sorry just can't mend a broken heart
I've handed you
Break apart is what most broken hearts tell you to do

But I'm long
Long way from over you
Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue
They say the time will heal
Don't know if I ever will
Cause I'm a long long way from over you

Now over you does sound like some lost city
People tell me how to find it, somehow I just never do
And maybe it's because I never wanted too at all
Of course now I see that I had the best in you
That clock just runs in circles, days just go on by
Memories hold me closer, no matter how I cry

I'm still a long long way from over you
Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue
They say the time will heal
Don't know if I ever will
Cause I'm a long long way from over you

That clock just runs in circles
Days just go on by
Memories hold me closer
No matter how I cry

I'm still a long long way from over you
Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue
They say the time will heal
Don't know if I ever will
Cause I'm a long long way from over you

Come on banjo
How about that mandolin in there
All right flat-top
How about of little pedal steel guitar
Little of bass and drums now
Come on everybody

They say the time will heal
Don't know if I ever will
Cause I'm a long long way from over you
