How Long
Sannie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On my own I've
Been Trying to
Forget you,
You've been long,

Long gone.
Oh my!
And it feels

So wrong, this
is like I've never
met you, been trying

To make
things right.
I've been looking

For you,
but every road
that I choose,
Leaves me further

From your
side, I
Thought tha
I was

Stronger,
But I can't wait
No longer,
I'm forgetting

How to smile

Hey, How long
Must I wait
Here?
Must I wait

Hey, How long
Must I wait
Here?
For you?

Hey, so long I have waited
I have waited




Hey so long I have waited
For you. Hey!
