Lyrics
How Long (?before this Heartache will end)?

We talked again today
Well at least we tried
Nothin? seemed to come out right
So I just broke right down and lied
Well I said I?m doin? fine without you girl
And its fine (for us) to be just friends
But what I really meant to say to you
Was
Chorus
How Long
(?before this Heartache ends)?
I wonder How Long (?before this Heartache will end)?
I wonder How Long (?until this broken heart will mend)?
Please tell me How Long ?til I find the way
That I?ll want to breath again
How Long?
We tried the neutral topics
The weather work and news
Even got as far as that new perfume you use
Then nothin? seemed to matter any more
As it came to me its really really true
I?ll never find a way to forget
That I?m so in love so much in love with you
(Chorus)
Bridge
Baby you know I wanna do whats right for you
Really I do
But tell me how will I get over losing you
When its you that I?m livin? for
When a love like ours is over
Do the birds forget they can sing?
And does that lucky old sun
Forget to shine through the darkest rain
(Chorus)
