Too Long (Acoustic)

Anouk · Update

You ask me what is on my mind
You notice there's a change
There's something different
Different in the way I look at you today
See I've been alone for so long baby
Now I cannot explain

I must be completely out of my mind
To ever take the chance
I ain't got no trouble still I worry
That I might have to lose you
See I've been alone for so long baby

Chorus:
Now I cannot explain, I've been alone for so long
I took the chance to lose you
No I must be insane, I've been alone for so long
I'm not gonna lose you

I never ever really tried
I never had the strength
But now I got you, got you by my side
I'm gonna make this work
you see, I've been alone for so long baby

Chorus

All the tings I've done when I was alone I can't understand myself
It's amazing, you amaze me
But my life begins with the songs I sing and the love you bring to me
It's amazing, you amaze me

Chorus
