A Long Time

It's been a long time A long time since we last spoke I didn't start it out right Took everything I had to clear the smoke You see I kept bottled up tight And tightly fastened so as to maintain control I didn't care for my body I didn't care for my soul Oh, the things that I would say to you Let you know that I'm okay, And more like you, every day I found a place inside my soul that you can stay, And I just want you to know that you never went away But if you come at me I won't fight; Flight is my passion, my feet won't even touch the ground Over time, I have tried to climb, now I'm so high I am never coming down But sometimes I still stay up nights, And before the morning light has broken through I look up at the brightest star I'd swear I was staring right at you Oh the only thing I need, it's true Is to not hide behind the lies That trip me up every time We have a home inside that's warm, we can stay And I just want you to know that I never went away There's a feeling I get every time I try something new It's the same feeling I have every time that I'm with you It's this feeling I am addicted to This something kind, something right, something true
