TOGETHER TOO LONG
Love's Echo Fades: When Good Times Overstay
Lyrics
I saw you standing in a crowded room
I observed you standing in a crowded room
it’s a long time later but it’s still too soon
Even though a significant amount of time has passed, it still feels too soon
and it’s not like everything you did was wrong
Not everything you did was wrong
baby I loved you
I loved you, baby
but we stayed together too long
We remained in the relationship for an extended period
baby it was not bad, isn’t like I’d take it back
It wasn't a bad experience; I wouldn't undo it
you and I had quite a lot of fun in fact
We had a lot of fun together
and its not like anything went really wrong
Nothing went significantly wrong
baby I loved you
I loved you, baby
but we stayed together too long
We stayed together for too long
now that it’s all over and you’re saving face
Now that the relationship is over, and you're trying to save face
you say you wanna be my friend
You claim you want to be friends
but I don’t know what I saw in you in the first place
I'm uncertain about what I saw in you initially
and I hope I never ever have to see you again
I hope to never see you again
I took my books back, records from the bedroom shelf
I retrieved my books and records from the bedroom shelf
it was a small flat, now you got it to yourself
The living space is now yours alone
I know that probably I did you wrong
Admitting that I may have wronged you
baby I’m sorry
I apologize, baby
but we stayed together too long
We were together for too long
now that it’s all over and you’re saving face
Now that it's all over, and you're trying to save face
you say you wanna be my friend
You express a desire to be friends
but I don’t know what I saw in you in the first place
I'm unsure about what attracted me to you initially
and I hope I never ever have to see you again
I hope to never see you again
it isn’t my fault we were never meant to be
It's not my fault; we weren't meant to be
it isn’t your fault I can tell you honestly
It's not your fault; I can honestly tell you
we knew it when we started there was something wrong
We realized from the beginning that something was wrong
we should’ve known better
We should have known better
but we stayed together too long
We stayed together for too long
now that it’s all over and you’re saving face
Now that it's all over, and you're trying to save face
you say you wanna be my friend
You express a desire to be friends
but I don’t know what I saw in you in the first place
I'm unsure about what attracted me to you initially
and I hope I never ever have to see you again
I hope to never see you again
