Been Way Too Long

You’re the span of time between my smiles
You’re the reason I have come so far from where I want to be
It’s taken all my will to try
To keep you from changing me
And it’s not been easy
It’s been way too long
Those days are lost, that time forever gone
It’s been way too long
I was done with trying to find
Something just to fill my needs
Well I’ve stepped so far out of line
'Cause you’re the first thing I could see
And it’s not been pleasing
It’s been way too long
Those days are lost, that time forever gone
It’s been way too long
You gave me the benefit
And I lost my regret a bit, I guess
I can’t help but wonder if
That’ll really clear up this mess
It’s been way too long
It’s been way too long
It’s been way too long
