too long
arlie Lyrics

Wasn't this supposed to be fun?
This relationship was supposed to be enjoyable, but something has made it difficult.

But somewhere along the way it got heavy
Something has made the relationship more difficult and serious than it was meant to be.

Since I saw you from across the lawn, light as the day
From the moment I saw you, you brought lightness into my life.

You said I told you what you wanted to hear
You think I just said what you wanted to hear, without really meaning it.

Well, you might be right but I meant every word
You could be correct, but I genuinely meant what I said to you.

I whispered into your ear, besides it did me the same
Sharing my feelings with you was beneficial for me too.

Before, I could go completely alone for days at a time
I used to be able to be alone for days without feeling lonely.

Without getting lonely
I didn't feel the need for companionship before.

But I guess you left a hole in my chest
Now that you're gone, I feel a sense of emptiness.

You carved yourself a spot and now I left it open
You had a special place in my heart, which is now empty after you left.

It's been too long
It has been a significant amount of time without hearing from you.

I need to hear your sweet voice again
I miss the sound of your voice.

Your sweet voice again
I miss the sound of your voice.

Well, I hated that I made you cry
I regret causing you emotional pain.

You wear your heart on your sleeve
You openly display your emotions and vulnerabilities.

And now you wanna use it to wipe the tears outta your eyes
You cry so much that you could use your own heart on your sleeve to wipe your tears.

You're getting salt in the wound
You're making the pain of the situation worse.

I wish you'd credit me for how hard I tried
I hope you recognize the effort I put in to make things work.

'Cause some day you'll find someone who loves you better
One day, you'll find someone who will love you more than I ever could.

But first you gotta learn how to fly on your own
Before finding that love, you need to learn how to be independent and self-sufficient.

Ooh, you had too many glasses
You drank too much alcohol.

You say you don't remember that conversation
You claim to have no memory of what we talked about.

But I think you know how the saying goes
I think you know that people often say things they don't mean when they're drunk.

About the words that come out in that kinda state
People often say things they don't mean when they're drunk.

You said stay, so I stayed quiet
Even though you were drunk, you asked me to stay, so I stayed quiet.

For once in my life I knew what I had to do
In that moment, I knew what the right thing to do was, and I did it.
