it's gonna take a while - KMurdock Music Group
I've been trying to fill the space you left, ain't nothing working yet
Every time I touch somebody new, my heart rejects
All these nights, tangled tight, drowning in regret
Can't forget the way you felt, the scent of cigarettes
Got you lingering in linens, still in the fabric threads
Pretending I'm alright, but it's complicated steps
Emotions double-edged, cuts deeper than I let
So I'll keep it low, try to breathe slow, holding my breath
It's gonna take a while
For me to get over you
It's gonna take a while
For you to get over me
Promises break in style
Now we're strangers with the truth
We both got miles and miles
Before we find somebody new
Text conversations fading from blue to gray
Staring at screens, memories won't erase
Thought I'd be stronger by now, guess I miscalculated
Replaying everything, love spinning, validated
All this space in my bed still occupied
Tell my friends I'm alright, but they know I lied
Dual mistakes multiplied, too tired to fight
Yeah, we slip and slide right back every other night
It's gonna take a while
For me to get over you
It's gonna take a while
For you to get over me
Promises break in style
Now we're strangers with the truth
We both got miles and miles
Before we find somebody new
Maybe in another life we'd get it right
But holding on now only multiplies the strife
A part of me hopes you hurt just as bad
Selfish, yeah, I own it, still miss what we had
Maybe distance is the medicine, bitter pill, swallow slow
Yeah, here I am, still feeling every single blow
It's gonna take a while
For me to get over you
It's gonna take a while
For you to get over me
Promises break in style
Now we're strangers with the truth
We both got miles and miles
Before we find somebody new
Days bleed, slow calendar turning numb
Watching time passing by, yet healing won't come
Rebuilding the pieces, but they're never the same
Telling myself someday I'll forget your name
Till then, I'm caught in limbo, stuck in rewind
Somewhere between closure and changing my mind
Don't wanna see your face, but I search in the crowd
I'm silently fucked up, ain't saying it loud
It's gonna take a while
For me to get over you
It's gonna take a while
For you to get over me
Promises break in style
Now we're strangers with the truth
We both got miles and miles
Before we find somebody new
It's gonna take a while
Yeah, it's gonna take a while
We both got miles and miles
Still stuck here missing you
