Long Year – Jackie Lee

It’s been a long year and I’m a little tired
Lived a whole life between 24 and 25
I’ve been to hell and back but I’ve never left right here
It’s been a long year, it’s been a long year
I cried like I’ve never cried
Nothing’s lost if you know where it is but still goodbye
Means there’s heaven for you there
But I’m still here, it’s been a long year

And if time’s the only thing that’s gonna heal this pain
Then why’s God stretching seconds into minutes, into days
Well I know you’d have a story and an answer for me
If you were still here
But you’re not here, and it’s been a long year

It’s been a long drive back to Tennessee
And I’m talking to you like you’re sitting next to me
Blinking back an ocean and trying to steer
It’s been a long year

And if time’s the only thing that’s gonna heal this pain
Then why’s God stretching seconds into minutes, into days
Well I know you’d have a story and an answer for me
If you were still here
But you’re not here, and it’s been a long year

I wake up haunted like I saw your ghost
Time was racing until you let go
Now it moves so slow

And if time’s the only thing that’s gonna heal this pain
Then why’s God stretching seconds into minutes, into days
Well I know you’d have a story and an answer for me
If you were still here, oh, but you’re not here
No you’re not here, and it’s been a long year

And I’m a little tired
