Long Year

I'm not ready Not ready to quit this fight I'll stay up with you all night if I have to Is it too early Too early to feel this pain How did we let it get this way overnight It's been a long year We don't agree on much these days It's been hard to hear Some of what you have to say But no one said it'd be easy Now did they I used to think That we'd agree on everything with time But then time keeps passing by, and we're still fightin' I used to believe We'd always come to the same conclusion Somehow find a resolution at the end What if we don't even make it to the end It's been a long year We don't agree on much these days It's been hard to hear Some of what you have to say But no one said it'd be easy Now did they No one prepared you or tried to dissuade you from the road you started down And no one can save you once you're out there And maybe it'd be better, just a little better if it was anybody but me It's forever, only me I hope it's forever only me It's been a long year I wish we agreed on more these days It's been hard to learn how to change But I want many more years And I'll do whatever it takes 'Cause no one said it'd be easy, now did they Oh, I'm here to stay Oh, I'm here to stay
