I didn't ask for this I couldn't ask for that I wouldn't ask for any change in plans Am I ever right? When you're such a brat I feel much better in your hands Try to take your word I want to take you down You never caught me lying I'm trying not to shout Wanna work it out I've been so long denying I'm a long time gone Keeping your secrets for too long Baby you ain't half of what you used to be In this dim October sky I've got no more tears left to cry And I'm finally learning That you can't be too strong I'm a long time gone When you understand There's no one truth And we're three-thousand miles apart Try and act your age And you're a flaming youth You seek the end But never start If I'm a man Do I have the strengh To change what I'm becoming I've been such a fool Didn't want to lose It's been a long time coming I'm a long time gone Keeping your secrets for too long Baby you ain't half of what you used to be In this dim October sky I've got no more tears left to cry And I'm finally learning That you can't be too strong I'm a long time gone I'm a long time gone I'm a long time gone Keeping your secrets for too long Baby you ain't half of what you used to be In this dim October sky I've got no more tears left to cry And I'm finally learning That you can't be too strong I'm a long time gone I'm a long time gone I'm a long time gone I'm a long time gone
