How Long Will It Take Lyrics

Growing up is easy

If nothing stands in your way

But the part of that that scares me

Is that I'll never know what it takes

But even now that I've come this far

It feels like a waste to just wait at the start

I can't move on so if nothing else

I'll just keep asking here to myself

How long will it take to wake you up?

How much longer before your time is done?

How long will it take to make you see?

How much longer before the world moves on without me?

Cause I don't wanna be left behind

But at this pace it feels a little more like

My selfish mind has outstayed it's time

How much longer before the end of the line?

Moving on is easy

If you've found a way to live with yourself

And being wrong is okay

Just as long as you blame someone else

But even now that I've opened up

I feel more empty than I did in the start

And it's so hard just to give it up

I can't pretend I've let go of my scars

How long will it take to wake you up?

How much longer before your time is done?

How long will it take to make you see?

How much longer before the world moves on without me?

Cause I don't wanna be left behind

But at this pace it feels a little more like

My selfish mind has outstayed it's time

How much longer before the end of the line?

Ooh

It shouldn't be this hard

I should erase my mark

All I'm left with is tired broken hearts

It shouldn't be this hard

Wish I could press restart

All I'm left with is hope but it's too far

How long will it take for me to love

The way that I did before you'd had enough?

How long will it take for me to see

The best part of you brought the best out of me?

And don't want to be forgotten inside

But at this pace it seems you've made up your mind

I want to blame you but I already know

The longer it takes the further you'll go

You'll go, you'll go
