lyrics
Don't tell me bout regret
You ain't seen nothing yet
Don't tell me bout desire
My heart's a melted tire
The Friendships that I burned
lives I overturned
If there's anything I've learned
It's that I'll never learn
I've been gone so long
I've been gone so long
That I can't remember
The face of my mother
The Voice of my brother
We ain't even talked on the phone
I've been gone so long
Oh how I longed to leave
To cross the open sea
In search of pretty lies
For truth in my disguise
But when the light turned cold
I pillaged and I stole
I made the night wind moan
The weight of breaking bones
I've been gone so long
I've been gone so long
That I can't remember
The house I was raised in
The garden we played in
The neighborhood where we would roam
I've been gone so long
This letter in my hand
The pleading of a man
The one who gave me breath
He died a stranger's death
I'll sign my name and say
That I'll return one day
No matter how I try
I only know goodbye
I've been gone so long
I've been gone so long
That I can't remember
I can't remember
I can't remember
The lover I squandered
The trouble I caused her
The diamonds I left in the coal
I've been gone so long
It’s taken me half of my life to accept
That I ain't goin' home
You ain't seen nothing yet
Don't tell me bout desire
My heart's a melted tire
The Friendships that I burned
lives I overturned
If there's anything I've learned
It's that I'll never learn
I've been gone so long
I've been gone so long
That I can't remember
The face of my mother
The Voice of my brother
We ain't even talked on the phone
I've been gone so long
Oh how I longed to leave
To cross the open sea
In search of pretty lies
For truth in my disguise
But when the light turned cold
I pillaged and I stole
I made the night wind moan
The weight of breaking bones
I've been gone so long
I've been gone so long
That I can't remember
The house I was raised in
The garden we played in
The neighborhood where we would roam
I've been gone so long
This letter in my hand
The pleading of a man
The one who gave me breath
He died a stranger's death
I'll sign my name and say
That I'll return one day
No matter how I try
I only know goodbye
I've been gone so long
I've been gone so long
That I can't remember
I can't remember
I can't remember
The lover I squandered
The trouble I caused her
The diamonds I left in the coal
I've been gone so long
It’s taken me half of my life to accept
That I ain't goin' home
