i have been down this road before
and each time i run when i should walk
diving too deep when i can't swim
always asking what could have been

i held my heart out in my hands
and you pull me down each time i stand
and i'v tried to fly away from you
i'd rather be alone than love you like i do

and so they say that time's a healer
maybe it's about time that i start
but i'v found time don't make it any easier
the longer we're apart

why is every body always more afraid to live than die
they seem to have the strength to fail but not the will to try
i'v never been like this and i'm not about to start
the part of me i miss i'll find now that we're apart

i'm going down this road once more
and each time i run when i should walk
when you reach the end just start again
never look back at what could have been

and now i know that time's a healer
maybe it's about time that i start
but i'v found time it don't make it any easier
the longer the longer we're apart

oh baby wont you sing it to me
oh the longer baby
oh oh yeah
