How long has it been    Since you knew you could feel this way again?   I've had my doubts   And fallen hard for them   Until I met you      I wasn't lying when I said   "It's been a long time   A long time."   Pay no attention to the stitches in my head   They spell out goodbye   Goodbye      You could say I learned my lesson   Another few miles   And I'll be homes   It gets worse    Before it gets better   And I need you   More than you know      Let's make this count   Our lives are going on right now      I may be sick   But I'm getting better   (Now that I take my medicine)   I'm almost back to where I was before this mess   Sure enough as you hold me up   Let go   And I'll fall back to the same old place again
