Song Lyrics
I`ve been walking in the shadows for so long that I forgot the sun can shine
I`ve turned away from everone and everything that wanted to be mine
Somehow I always shot my eyes and heart to everything that I could share
Now I`m standing still and I`m wondering just how long have you been there
And every path I`ve taken I have turned around and quickly closed the door
It seems as though I knew if I ever stop to feel I want more
I kept a steady run so my eyes could never focus anywhere
Now I`m standing still and I`m wondering just how long have you been there
How long have you been standing there protecting me from love that shouldn`t be
Knowing all alone that I could realize that you were meant for me
Now I`ve got to mend every broken fence and bridge that I have burned
I`ve got to clear away the cobwebs in my heart so I can start to learn
For I realize that you`ve been waiting just to teach me how to care
Now I`m standing still and I`m wondering just how long have you been there
And now I`m standing still and I`m wondering just how long have you been there
