How Long

Maybe I should go back Maybe I should go back home Maybe they won't notice I've been fighting on my own Hard for me to stand here Hard for me to fill these shoes Hard for me to love you I might need a week or two I've been fighting demons 12 rounds and they won't go away I've been in the deep end So long so long that I might just stay What is the reason What is the point What is the meaning Where is the choice How long, how long, how long Till I play my verse And they'll sing along How long, how long, how long Till I play my part And it won't feel wrong Didn't wanna lose it Didn't wanna play your game Now it's check mate Found out that I played myself Beggin' for my own help Everybody grab a plate What can I do, what can I do That's the hand I was dealt I hear their whispers I hear them laughing I see them talkin' Look at me like I'm nothin' I hear their whispers I hear them laughing I see them talkin' Look at me like I'm nothin' How long, how long, how long Till I play my verse And they'll sing along How long, how long, how long Till I play my part And it won't feel wrong
