| The phone rings |
| Middle on the night |
| I fumble through the file |
| To find the light |
| I hear your voice at the end of the line |
| Saying, baby we can make it work this time |
| Its' not that I dont believe thats it’s so |
| There’s just one thing I need to know |
| So baby won’t you tell me |
| How long is this time gonna be |
| Till you decide that you wanna be free |
| How long is this time gonna take |
| Till I’m laying awake with another heart ache |
| How long is this time gonna be |
| You look like an angle standing at my door |
| Just as beautiful as everytime before |
| You know my heart like the back of your hand |
| And what I wouldn’t do to have you love me again |
| But one more fall is all I can take |
| So have mercy on me for heavens sake |
| And tell me |
| How long is this time gonna be |
| Till you decide to fly away from me |
| How long is this time gonna last |
| Till someone new puts me back in your past |
| How long is this time gonna be |
| My foolish mind wants you back in my bed |
| But my better judgement’s still shakin his head |
| Baby you make it so hard to be strong |
| I want so bad to believe this night can make it allright |
| Oh but what if I’m wrong |
| So please tell me |
| How long is this time gonna be |
| Till you turn around and walk out on me |
| How long till this time has to end |
| And you leave my life in pieces again |
| How long is this time gonna hurt |
| If you decide forever’s never going to work |
| How long is this time gonna be |
| Baby tell me |
| How long is this time gonna be |
| I know I shouldn’t but I will |
| I can’t hid the way I feel |
| Tell me this time that it’s real |
| How long? |
