How Long Lyrics

What do you do when pain kicks in

When it's knocking at your door

Do you hide or grab a knife

When patience is no advice

What do you do when anger is near

You feel it boiling in your chest

Do you hide or face it alone

No exit and no surprise

Do you run until your heart skips a beat

Or do you just give in

Do you pretend that your alright

Or admit your empty inside

This is all I can endure

Trying not to turn around

See the good in all the bad

Starting over feeling new

Still feel the scars of what I knew

For how llllllong

Why does everyone keep telling me no

Keep running leaving me alone

In a dark place I once felt

All left out and unreal

unwanted and deeply scared

But that is in my in my past

More good to come than bad will rise

more exits and true surprise

Flashbacks here and flashbacks there

But I don't care anymore

What's done is done look ahead and you see all around

The beauty inside

This was all I could endure

Never turned around again

Saw the good in all the bad

Started over feeling new

Still feel the scars of what I knew

For how llllllong

For how long

For how long

This was all I could endure

Never turned around again

Saw the good in all the bad

Started over feeling new

Still Feel the scars of what I knew

For how llllllong
