Paroles de How long have you been there

I've been walking in the shadows for so long that i forgot the sun could shine
I've turned away from everything and everyone that wanted to be mine
Somehow i always shot my eyes and heart to anything that i might share
Now i'm standing still and i wonder how long have you been there

Every path i've taken, i've turned around and quickly closed the door
It seems that all 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 wonder 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 would realize
That you were meant for me

Now i've got to mend every broken fence and bridge that i have burned
And clear away the cobwebs in my heart so i can start to learn
For now i realize that you've been waiting just to teach me how to care
Now i'm standing still and i wonder how long have you been there
Now i'm standing still and i wonder how long have you been there
