Songtext von How Long Have You Been There

I've been walking in the shadows for so long that I forgot the sun could shine I've turned away from everything and everyone that wanted to be mine Somehow I always shot my eyes and heart to anything that I might share Now I'm standing still and I wonder how long have you been there Every path I've taken I've turned around and quickly closed the door It seems that all I knew if I ever stop to feel I want more I kept a steady run so my eyes could never focus anywhere Now I'm standing still and I wonder how long have you been there How long have you been standing there protecting me from love that shouldn't be Knowing all alone that I would realize that you were meant for me Now I've got to mend every broken fence and bridge that I have burned And clear away the cobwebs in my heart so I can start to learn For now I realize that you've been waiting just to teach me how to care Now I'm standing still and I wonder how long have you been there Now I'm standing still and I wonder how long have you been there
