IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME

It’s been a long time since the fire died down
It’s been a long time since the fire died down
Why you wanna go and rub these sticks together now?
Why you wanna start it up and burn this old house to the ground?
Why you wanna light it up when I just put this damn thing out?

It’s been a long time since the flood dried up
It’s been a long time since the flood dried up
Why you wanna go and make it rain again?
Why you wanna go through all of this pain again?
Why you wanna swim for life when I just sat down to catch my breath again?

It’s been a long time since the shooting stopped
It’s been a long time since the shooting stopped
Why you wanna go and drop the bombs again?
Why you wanna bleed for someone you can’t understand?
Why you wanna lose your life in a battle you can’t win? 

Why you wanna go back to the start again?
Why you wanna go and break my heart again? 
You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth
Telling me you wanna work it out
Making me a shadow of my doubt

It’s been a long time since I walked away
It’s been a long time since I walked away
Why you wanna find me when I’m strong
Just to make me weak again?
