lyrics

Such a long time
by High
Lyrics and composition: Dilip Balakrishnan


It was fun, while it lasted
I was so, so enchanted
I saw your face, once again
And it's been such a long time
Since I've felt this way

It was wrong, to take advantage
I took your love all for granted
I guess I'm so old fashioned
But's sure been a long time
Since I've felt this way

I don't wanna reason
I don't wanna face the truth
All that seems to matter
Was the time that I could be with you
And if we could go back in time
I would promise to get through
But I know that we can't change our destiny

It was easy, while we were both young
Life wasn't so complicated
It wasn't hard for us to dream
And now it seems so hard
To make them real

I don't wanna reason
I don't wanna face the truth
All that seems to matter
Was the time that I could be with you
And if we could go back in time
I would promise to get through
But I know that we can't change our destiny

It was fun, while it lasted
I was so, so enchanted
I saw your face, once again
And it's been such a long time
Since I've felt this way
