| Verse: same as verse 1 |
| 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 |
