How Long
Navigating Heartbreak: Unveiling the Depths of 'How Long' by Dave Barnes
Lyrics
You and I are living heavy-hearted
You and I are feeling burdened by emotions.
Are we just another long goodbye?
Are we simply experiencing yet another prolonged farewell?
In this land of the left and leaving
In this place characterized by departures and abandonment.
We know that we gotta try
We acknowledge that we need to make an effort.
How long can we go on?
Asking about the duration we can endure this situation.
Here in the middle, we won't give a little
Refusing to compromise in the midst of circumstances.
And how long can we go on like this
Questioning the sustainability of continuing like this.
Oh won't you tell me?
Requesting information or clarity.
How long can we go on?
Reiterating the query about endurance.
Heart break is what it takes sometimes, you see
Implying that sometimes heartache is necessary.
But what about you and me?
Asking about the impact on the relationship.
How long?
Repeating the question regarding duration.
Forgiveness is a heavy promise
Stating that forgiveness is a weighty commitment.
Its a language that's so hard to speak
Expressing the difficulty in expressing forgiveness.
I'm hearing whispers by the darkest voices
Noting negative influences or thoughts.
But I know what you mean to me (so much to me)
Acknowledging the significance of the other person.
How long can we go on?
Repeating the inquiry about endurance.
Here in the middle, we won't give a little
Stating the determination to not yield despite circumstances.
And how long can we go on like this
Questioning the sustainability of the current situation.
Oh won't you tell me?
Asking for clarification or guidance.
How long can we go on?
Reiterating the question about endurance.
Heart break is what it takes sometimes, you see
Suggesting that heartbreak is occasionally necessary.
But what about you and me?
Concern about the impact on the relationship.
How long?
Repeating the question about duration.
And all we are, we are
Asserting existence as is.
And what will be, will be
Acceptance of fate or the future.
You and I we gotta find
We need to rebuild our connection.
A burned up bridge to each others side
Only by overcoming past issues can we reconcile.
Its the only way to see
Indicating the necessity of this action.
How long can we go on?
Repeating the query about endurance.
How long can we go on?
Reiterating the question about duration.
Barely living, when nobody's giving in
Describing a state of almost survival without compromise.
How long can we go on like this
Questioning the sustainability of this state.
Oh won't you tell me?
Requesting information or guidance about the duration.
How long can we go on?
Reiterating the query about endurance.
Heart break is what it takes sometimes, you see
Suggesting that heartache is sometimes necessary.
But what about you and me?
Concern about the impact on the relationship.
How long?
Repeating the question about duration.
