I didn't ask for this 
I couldn't ask for that 
I wouldn't ask for any change in plans 

Am I ever right? 
When you're such a brat 
I feel much better in your hands 

Try to take your word 
I want to take you down 
You never caught me lying 

I'm trying not to shout 
Wanna work it out 
I've been so long denying 

I'm a long time gone 
Keeping your secrets for too long 
Baby you ain't half of what you used to be 

In this dim October sky 
I've got no more tears left to cry 
And I'm finally learning 
That you can't be too strong 

I'm a long time gone 

When you understand 
There's no one truth 
And we're three-thousand miles apart 

Try and act your age 
And you're a flaming youth 
You seek the end 
But never start 

If I'm a man 
Do I have the strengh 
To change what I'm becoming 

I've been such a fool 
Didn't want to lose 
It's been a long time coming 

I'm a long time gone 
Keeping your secrets for too long 
Baby you ain't half of what you used to be 

In this dim October sky 
I've got no more tears left to cry 
And I'm finally learning 
That you can't be too strong 

I'm a long time gone 

I'm a long time gone 

I'm a long time gone 
Keeping your secrets for too long 
Baby you ain't half of what you used to be 

In this dim October sky 
I've got no more tears left to cry 
And I'm finally learning 
That you can't be too strong 

I'm a long time gone 
I'm a long time gone 
I'm a long time gone 
I'm a long time gone
