How Long
Unraveling Heartache: Harem Scarem's 'How Long' Tale
Lyrics
It's gonna take some time 'til I'm over you
Expresses the duration it will take to move on from the emotional attachment to someone.
I'd gave you it all, there wasn't nothing that I wouldn't do
Illustrates the depth of dedication and commitment given in the relationship.
Now that it hurts so bad, when I found out the truth
Highlights the emotional pain experienced upon discovering the truth about the partner's actions.
That you'd been running around, oh I was such a fool
Reflects a sense of foolishness for being unaware of the partner's unfaithfulness.
I know I can't keep holding on, cause it's hard for me
Acknowledges the difficulty in holding onto the relationship due to emotional strain.
Now that you're gone, I'm haunted by your memory
Describes the haunting effect of memories left behind after the partner's departure.
How long, 'til my heart can love again
Ponders the duration until the heart is ready to love again after trying unsuccessfully.
I've tried and I've tried, I don't know what else to do
Expresses the efforts made to move forward emotionally, feeling unsure of what more can be done.
How long 'til this broken heart mends
Asks about the time needed for the heart to heal from the pain of the breakup.
Will I ever be over you
Questions if complete emotional recovery from the relationship is possible.
So many sleepless nights since we've been apart
Describes the difficulty of coping with sleepless nights experienced since the separation.
They say time will ease the pain, tell this broken heart
Expresses skepticism about time being the ultimate healer for a heartbroken individual.
I know I can't keep holding on, cause it's hard for me
Reiterates the struggle to hold onto the relationship due to emotional hardship.
Now that you're gone, I'm haunted by your memory
Emphasizes the lingering impact of memories after the partner's departure.
