Been so long
Kim English Lyrics

I'm missin' you, baby
The singer feels a strong sense of longing for someone they refer to as 'baby'

I won't be neglected
The singer will not allow themselves to be ignored or disregarded by the other person

I won't be denied
The singer will not accept being turned away or denied access to the things they want from the other person

The pleasure of your kisses
The artist values the physical affection that they receive from the other person

The pleasure of your smile
The artist values the emotional connection that they experience with the other person

I think you take for granted
The singer feels that the other person does not appreciate or fully recognize what they have

I'll always be here
The singer is committed to being there for the other person, but there are limits to their patience and endurance

Just because i love you
The artist wants the other person to know that their feelings are genuine and come from a place of love

It doesn't mean i won't disappear
The artist is warning the other person that they cannot take their presence for granted and risk losing them if they don't make an effort to appreciate them

Been so long... of missin' you, baby
The artist has been feeling the pain of separation from the other person for a long period of time

Thoughts and mellow memories
The singer is dwelling on past experiences and the feelings that they evoke

Of once upon a time
The artist is referring to a happy, idyllic period in the past

Slowly creepin' on me
The memories are gradually taking hold of the singer and affecting their emotions

And they linger on my mind
The thoughts and memories are staying with the singer and are difficult to shake off

Just let somebody love you
The singer is urging the other person to allow themselves to be loved by someone, which implies that they are not currently reciprocating the singer's feelings

I just don't know why
The artist is frustrated and confused by the other person's reluctance to engage emotionally

Whenever i get close to you
The artist has likely attempted to initiate intimacy with the other person in the past, but they have pulled away

You want to run and hide
The singer feels that the other person is avoiding a deeper connection and is afraid of being vulnerable

We began lovers' dance
The singer is describing the start of their romantic relationship

The road was smooth to romance
The artist believes that their relationship began easily and without obstacles

And we sang love sweet song every day
The artist remembers a time when they and the other person were deeply in love and happy together

I believe that love would stay in my heart
The artist was confident that their love for the other person would endure

Now it's torn all apart
The singer's hopes for the relationship have been shattered

It's gone away, i can't stay, i've got to say
The artist has reached a point where they cannot continue in the relationship and need to express their feelings

I don`t believe that you could do me this way
The singer is expressing disbelief and hurt that the other person has treated them poorly

Now don't you understand
The singer is frustrated that the other person is not 'getting' the message they are trying to convey

I'm in need of comfort
The singer is feeling emotional pain and longing for reassurance

The comfort of your hand in mine
The artist wants physical contact and reassurance from the other person

What i feel inside
The artist is experiencing strong emotions that may be difficult to articulate

Why don't you come closer
The singer is asking the other person to come closer and engage in a more intimate way

I can't hide
The singer's emotions are so strong that they cannot continue to suppress them

Been so long... can't hide
The artist has been repressing their emotions for a long time and can no longer do so

Been so long... it's too long, won't you come on, baby
The artist has been waiting for the other person to reciprocate their feelings for too long and is asking them to step up and bridge the divide between them

Been so long... won't you come home, see about me
The artist is asking the other person to come back to them, address their feelings and attempt to repair the relationship

See about me
The singer is asking the other person to care for and attend to their needs
