long gone

You've validated my neglect
And though I'm worthy of respect
I don't think that I deserve it
It's not that I can't share my past
I just don't like things going fast
Oh, but don't just tolerate it

Oh, I don't know why
I'm so bad at figuring it out
'Cause when it's time to tell you how I'm feeling
I can almost hear the sound of you leaving
Yeah, when I'm ready to tell you how I'm feeling
You'll be long gone

I think that you've been way too nice
And it was good to break the ice
But it's not just the ice that's broken
Oh, I don't know why I'm so bad at letting it all out

'Cause when it's time to tell you how
I'm feeling I can almost hear the sound of you leaving
Yeah, when I'm ready to tell you how I'm feeling
You'll be long gone

Trying to move on
From that fool who led you on
But it's not that simple, dear
Oh, I'm really trying here
Give me a week
Maybe a year

Cause I don't know why
I'm so bad at figuring it out
And when it's time to tell you how I'm feeling
How I dread the thought of leaving
I won't be ready to tell you how I'm feeling
Yeah, when I'm ready to tell you how I'm feeling
Don't be long gone
Before you're gone
