Ive been trying, God knows how long,
to piece my heart back together.
Now here I am back in our hometown,
you never answered my letters.
Is your dad still workin? And hows your mom?
We havent talked since last December.
I know its been some time since Ive been gone,
but you said youd wait forever.
I guess forever took too long.
I guess I shouldnt have left you, hangin on.
I guess you couldnt wait, my leavin was wrong.
I guess forever took too long.
Was I the only one who thought this would last?
If I was wrong then you can tell me.
Now I dont mean to be living in the past,
I just cant believe you dont love me.
How can you stand there and say the love has died,
you know I can still remember,
how you turned from me with tears in your eyes,
and swore youd love me forever.
I guess forever took too long.
I guess I shouldnt have left you, hangin on.
I guess you couldnt wait, my leavin was wrong.
I guess forever took too long.
