Long, Long Time

It's been a Long Long Time
And I have come to be known as a villain
It's been a Long Long Time

It's been a Long Long While
And I deserve whatever I have coming
For the harm from a long time ago

Being Insecure within myself
I had to find someone to help
Wanted more than what was shone
And I would not leave her alone
Putting fear into the mind
Turning her into the kind
That doesn't let anything go
And is unable to grow

It's been a Long Long Time
And she still holds all that pain deep inside her
It's been a Long Long Time

I can see them calming down
Movin' on down goin' down til they will come around
I can see them slowing down
Movin' on down slowin' down yeah they keep on slowing down
They keep on slowing down yeah cause
I can see them going down

Ooh yeah How can one keep from being so distraught?
Ooh yeah Just gotta give myself a second thought

Today's a new day I've found a new way
Work for what is right For a Long Long Time

So it's wrong to forgive a sin?
Because they lose and you always win?
And where did you get that conclusion?

You say you came from a damaging place
Your upbringing was a dangerous case
And had to learn from an early age
To never let go of anger and rage

You can spite all you want
Continue the haunt
Instead I choose to move on

I can see them calming down
Movin' on down goin' down til they will come around
I can see them slowing down
Movin' on down slowin' down yeah they keep on slowing down
They keep on slowing down yeah cause
I can see them going down

It's been a Long Long Long Long Time
And everyday that you're still bitter
It keeps you from getting better
How have you been since
I left my evils behind?
Very little growth in a Long Long Time

Friendships all fall apart
Taking everything to heart
With constant gazing at other's flaws
You're gonna keep falling down
Without anyone around
If you keep holding onto all the
Grudges and bitterness

Ooh yeah What will it take to give a second thought?
Ooh yeah Gotta move on from being so distraught
Ooh yeah So much potential to benefit your life
Ooh yeah But you gotta let go of all your strife

Set yourself free Connection from me
Reduced to the time I created this nightmare

I know it's hard After leaving you scarred
But grieving for longer Will not make you stronger

Timing will heal I know how you feel
From living with guilt Over damage I've dealt

But it's a new day I've found a new way
Work for what is right For a Long Long Time

Are people static and can never change?
From when they're born until their grave?
So does that mean the same for you?
Sorry to say it just isn't true

Every human makes mistakes
Let it go no matter what it takes
It's not worth it anymore because

It's been a Long, Long Time
And I know it is true
There's a forgiving side of you

It's been a Long Long Time
Create a positive mind
Leave every worry behind
Make it last for a Long Long Time

Don't know why
Second chances are so hard to come by
When I have proven I have changed
For the better not the same

So here I stand on trial hoping
You will change your mind
Only you know what is best
Don't let anyone misguide

Now you're the judge
So you decide
When I haven't been that way in a Long Long Time

Look within yourself put every grudge up on the shelf
Setting you free into the mind making it shine for a long
Putting grace into the mind converting you into the kind
That'll be all-forgiving for a Long Long Time

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh

I can see them calming down
Movin' on down goin' down til they will come around
I can see them slowing down
Movin' on down slowin' down yeah they keep on slowing down
They keep on slowing down yeah cause
I can see them going down
