The corner store is out of your brand of cigarettes

The rain has stopped and left the dark gray sidewalks wet

Trash burn, you're saying things that you would like to forget

It's been a while since you've lost your confidence

So nervous smile, an empty place

We watch the floor, I hesitate

How long does it take to know it's not just circumstance?

How long should I wait, knowing there won't be another chance?

Too much too late, an empty place

We watch the floor, I hesitate

There's nothing left to see

See my eyes close with fear

Tell me what I want to hear

How long does it take to know it's not just circumstance?

How long should I wait, knowing there won't be another chance?

Too much too late, an empty place

We watch the floor, I hesitate

There's nothing left to say

See my eyes close with fear

Tell me what I want to hear

There's nothing left to see

See my eyes shut with fear

Tell me what I want to hear

How long does it take to know it's not just circumstance?

How long should I wait, knowing there won't be another chance?

How long?

How long?

How long?

How long?

There's nothing left to see

See my eyes close with fear

Can't you tell I'm not really here?

How long?

How long?
