I got a lying smile I never put out for you Cause I guess I never felt like I really needed to And they say little girls have big dreams And nothing in the world was gonna come between me and you And it was a long time coming I waited half my life just to find someone like you I spent a long time finding out love hangs around after you walk out Not knowing it’d be a long time going They say it’s better to have lost than never to have loved at all And I say whoever said that didn’t have too far to fall And they say little girls are so naive That wasn’t how it was supposed to be with me and you And it was a long time coming I waited half my life just to find someone like you I spent a long time finding out love hangs around after you walk out Not knowing it’d be a long time going I’ve burned my bridges had sleepless nights Washed my sins on the neon lights And I’m still not over you And it was a long time coming I waited half my life just to find someone like you I spent a long time finding out love hangs around after you walk out Not knowing it’d be a long time going A long time going And it will be a long time long time going Oh-oh oh-oh oh And it will be a long time long time going Oh-oh oh-oh oh

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les réflexions d'une personne sur un amour perdu, marquée par des rêves d'enfance et des attentes déçues. L’artiste confie combien elle a longtemps espéré rencontrer quelqu'un d’aussi spécial que cette personne, tout en réalisant que l'amour peut persister même après une séparation. Elle exprime également la douleur de ne pas avoir pu réaliser le potentiel de cette relation et la difficulté de tourner la page, même après tous ces efforts. Dans ce récit, il y a une lutte entre les souvenirs heureux et la réalité de la solitude qui suit la rupture. L'artiste explore des thèmes de nostalgie, de désillusion, et de la façon dont le temps peut sembler interminable lorsqu'on attend de guérir.
