How long, how long

Have I wanted to reach in and pull that splinter out?

Every moment compromised by things I couldn't talk about

Pushing deeper by the day until they

Reach the core and shatter everything I've known

'Cause it's been

So long, so long since I could take it

It's been

So long, so long since I could take it

I'm anaesthetised

Better to feel nothing than this fear inside

Gently turning into something I despise

And though I said I never meant to hurt you

I'd be lying to myself, cause it's been

So long, so long since I could take it

It's been

So long, so long since I could take it

And it's been so long, so long since I could take it

It's been

So long, so long since I could take it

It's been so, so long

It's been so, so long
