How Long Have You Been There |
| I’ve been walking in the shadows for so long that I forgot the sun could shine |
| I’ve turned away from everything and everyone that wanted to be mine |
| Somehow I always shot my eyes and heart to anything that I might share |
| Now I’m standing still and I wonder how long have you been there |
| Every path I’ve taken I’ve turned around and quickly closed the door |
| It seems that all I knew if I ever stop to feel I want more |
| I kept a steady run so my eyes could never focus anywhere |
| Now I’m standing still and I wonder how long have you been there |
| How long have you been standing there protecting me from love that shouldn’t be Knowing all alone that I would realize that you were meant for me Now I’ve got to mend every broken fence and bridge that I have burned |
| And clear away the cobwebs in my heart so I can start to learn |
| For now I realize that you’ve been waiting just to teach me how to care |
| Now I’m standing still and I wonder how long have you been there |
| Now I’m standing still and I wonder how long have you been there |
