Dave Barnes How Long lyrics

You and I are living heavy hearted
Are we just another long good-bye?
In this land of the left and leaving
We know that we gotta try
How long can we go on?
Here in the middle
We wont give a little
how long can we go on like this
Oh, wont you tell me
how long can we go on
heartbreak is what it takes sometimes
to see
but what about you and me? how long
forgiveness is a heavy promise
its a language that so hard to speak
im hearing whispers byt he darkest voices

but i know what you mean to me
all we are we are
what well be, well be
you and i gotta find the burned up bridge to each other's side
its the only way to see
how long can we go on
barely living
when nodbodys giving in
how long can we go on
heartbreak is what it takes sometimes
to see
what about you and me
how long
