Lyrics
It happens every time I think about the reasons why
I'm sitting here alone at night and not with you
Heartache takes control and lets me know
Just what a fool I was and how you can't erase the things you do
And sorry just can't mend the broken heart I've handed you
Break apart is what most broken hearts tell you to do
But I made a long, long way from over you
Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue
They say the time will heal
Don't know if I ever will
'Cause I made a long, long way from over you
Now over you does sound like some lost city
People tell me how to find it, somehow I just never do
And maybe it's because I never wanted to at all
Of course, now I see that I had the best in you
That clock just runs in circles, days just go on by
Memories hold me closer, no matter how I cry
I'm still a long, long way from over you
Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue
They say the time will heal
Don't know if I ever will
'Cause I made a long, long way from over you
That clock just runs in circles, days just go on by
Memories hold me closer, no matter how I cry
I'm still a long, long way from over you
Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue
They say the time will heal
Don't know if I ever will
'Cause I made a long, long way from over you
Come on, banjo!
How 'bout that mandolin in there?
All right flat-top
How 'bout of little pedal steel guitar?
Yeah, I think we need a little of bass and drums now
Come on, everybody!
They say the time will heal
Don't know if I ever will
'Cause I made a long, long way from over you
Oof, that was good
