Long Time Coming

The end of us, it's been a long time coming
All these years of us coming undone
And I just keep holding on, holding on
To the days we spent 'round your old place
Walking around the block talking
Wishing the world would change
Used to hope we could stay the same, and
You and I could live in these moments forever
Laughing in the corner of the schoolyard
Dancing down the festival streets
Without ever tearing at the seams

And in the end, I know we weren't perfect
But I still thought you were worth
All the time I spent crying 'cause you had decided
You didn't want to know me anymore
And I know it's past time to let go
But I still hear your voice in the echoes sometimes
Do I ever cross your mind

It's been a long time coming
All these years of us coming undone
And I can't bring myself to move on
I gave you my best days, I gave you my worst
Then what do I call you if I can't call you my friend
Oh, if this is the end of us
Now I'm sitting on the other side
Of a disconnected phone line
Tangled up in lost time, just wondering why
Wondering why, oh why, oh why, oh why
What do we look like from your side
Why did we never say goodbye

And in the end, I know we weren't perfect
But I still thought you were worth
All the time I spent crying 'cause you had decided
You didn't want to know me anymore
And I know it's past time to let go
But I still hear your voice in the echoes sometimes
Do I ever cross your mind

Remember laying awake until three in the morning
Talking about all our big dreams
Do you still want to be an actress
I'm still a storyteller (still a storyteller)
Oh, maybe someday I'll see you in the movies
Recognize your face on the big screen
And I'll say I knew you when
Yeah, I knew you when
And if this is the end (if this is the end), I want you to know
That I'm still learning how to let you go
And I hope you're happier now (happier now)

And I know it's past time to let go
But I still hear your voice in the echoes sometimes
Do I ever cross your mind
