How Long Have You Been There

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been walking in the shadows for so long that I forgot the sun can shine I've turned away from everyone and everything that wanted to be mine Somehow I always shot my eyes and heart to everything that I could share Now I'm standing still and I'm wondering just how long have you been there [Verse 2] And every path I've taken I have turned around and quickly closed the door It seems as though 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'm wondering just how long have you been there [Bridge] How long have you been standing there protecting me from love that shouldn't be Knowing all alone that I could realize that you were meant for me [Verse 3] Now I've got to mend every broken fence and bridge that I have burned I've got to clear away the cobwebs in my heart so I can start to learn For I realize that you've been waiting just to teach me how to care Now I'm standing still and I'm wondering just how long have you been there [Outro] And now I'm standing still and I'm wondering just how long have you been there
