How long?

We don’t talk like we used to

Just echoes in the room

We dance around the silence

Like strangers in a tomb

The fire’s out but we pretend

We’re not near the bitter end hmm hmmm

We keep the lights on, play the part

But there’s no beating in this heart

How long can we keep holding on?

When the battle’s lost and the feeling’s gone

We built a love, but let it fade

Now we’re just ghosts in the mess we made

I want to leave, but I still stay

How long till we both walk away? Wooo woo yeaa

We used to fight for something real

Now we just fight to feel

Your eyes don’t search for mine no more

And I don’t knock on your closed door

We say “I’m fine” through gritted teeth

As if the truth won’t find relief hmm hmmm

We’ve worn each word down to the bone

But still we sleep in beds alone

How long can we keep holding on?

When the battle’s lost and the feeling’s gone

We built a love, but let it fade

Now we’re just ghosts in the mess we made

I want to leave, but I still stay

How long till we both walk away? Wooo woo yeaa

We’re not enemies, we’re not friends

Just two hearts that can’t pretend

And staying hurts as much as leaving

So what are we still believing?

How long can we live half-alive?

Running from the reasons we tried

We lost the war, but wear the rings

Holding on to broken things

I want to leave, but I still stay

How long… till we both walk away? Wooo woo yeea
