Been Way Too Long lyrics

You're the span of time between my smiles You're the reason I have come so far from where I want to be It's taken all my will to try To keep you from changing me And it's not been easy It's been way too long Those days are lost, that time forever gone It's been way too long I was done with trying to find Something just to fill my needs Well I've stepped so far out of line 'Cause you're the first thing I could see And it's not been pleasing It's been way too long Those days are lost, that time forever gone It's been way too long You gave me the benefit And I lost my regret a bit, I guess I can't help but wonder if That'll really clear up this mess It's been way too long It's been way too long It's been way too long
