Where Have You Been All My Life
I'm starting to believe that you could need me
I built my walls and dug my ditches deeply
Letting someone in ain't always easy
When I've been on my own so completely
Years went by with my house on fire
And my tears couldn't put it out
Flames grew higher and I heard the choir
I was drowning in a drought
Baby, where have you been all my life
Loneliness cut like a knife
Oh I bled and I've been
Waiting for you ever since
You stop to kiss me even when we argue
I'm trying to memorize your every tattoo
You're worshiping my body like a statue
I never asked you, but were you sad too
Nights fly by with just you and I
Silent whispers mouth to mouth
Bandaged scars that were on my heart
No, you never had a doubt
Baby, where have you been all my life
Loneliness cut like a knife
Oh I bled and I've been
Waiting for you ever since
Baby, where have you been all my life
Me without you just ain't right
I'm not trying to be clever
But damn, you took forever, baby
Nights fly by with just you and I
Silent whispers mouth to mouth
Bandaged scars that were on my heart
No, you never had a doubt
Baby, where have you been all my life
Loneliness cut like a knife
Oh I bled and I've been
Waiting for you ever since
Baby, where have you been all my life
Me without you just ain't right
I'm not trying to be clever
But damn, you took forever, baby
Nights fly by with just you and I
Silent whispers mouth to mouth
Bandaged scars that were on my heart
No, you never had a doubt
Baby, where have you been all my life
Me without you just ain't right
I'm not trying to be smart
But I wish I had you from the start
I built my walls and dug my ditches deeply
Letting someone in ain't always easy
When I've been on my own so completely
Years went by with my house on fire
And my tears couldn't put it out
Flames grew higher and I heard the choir
I was drowning in a drought
Baby, where have you been all my life
Loneliness cut like a knife
Oh I bled and I've been
Waiting for you ever since
You stop to kiss me even when we argue
I'm trying to memorize your every tattoo
You're worshiping my body like a statue
I never asked you, but were you sad too
Nights fly by with just you and I
Silent whispers mouth to mouth
Bandaged scars that were on my heart
No, you never had a doubt
Baby, where have you been all my life
Loneliness cut like a knife
Oh I bled and I've been
Waiting for you ever since
Baby, where have you been all my life
Me without you just ain't right
I'm not trying to be clever
But damn, you took forever, baby
Nights fly by with just you and I
Silent whispers mouth to mouth
Bandaged scars that were on my heart
No, you never had a doubt
Baby, where have you been all my life
Loneliness cut like a knife
Oh I bled and I've been
Waiting for you ever since
Baby, where have you been all my life
Me without you just ain't right
I'm not trying to be clever
But damn, you took forever, baby
Nights fly by with just you and I
Silent whispers mouth to mouth
Bandaged scars that were on my heart
No, you never had a doubt
Baby, where have you been all my life
Me without you just ain't right
I'm not trying to be smart
But I wish I had you from the start
