Long Time to Be Lonely

I walked away, right out of her life
Without ever saying a word
Never asked her what the truth was
Trusted everything I heard

I left a life, a girl who loved me
For a while, I wish I could forget
I let an empty accusation
Become a lifetime of regret

Such a long time to be lonely
Such a long time to be gone
Long time since I held her
Long time to be wrong

I walked away and kept on walking
Like I never knew her name
Like we’d never been together
Like it wasn’t me to blame

I walked away into my future
Everything ahead of me
But the girl I walked away from
Is still the only one I see

Such a long time to be lonely
Such a long time to be gone
Long time since I held her
Long time to be wrong

Yeah, the girl I walked away from
Is always there in front of me
