How Long [Assemblage 23 Remix]

                                  If we ever write the play

We'd never need to rehearse

'Cause everything we say

Someone said it first

The light is fading

And so are we

We both need saving

We're just too tired of everything



And how long?

And how much pain?

Do we need to feel

Before we start again

And how long?

Do we need to cry?

Before the tears grow cold

Before the lies run dry



Never live the dream

'Cause that's what dreaming's for

But everything we've done

Someone's done before

The bell is toning

For you and me

And I can't watch you drowning

But you won't take a hand from me



And how long?

And how much pain?

Do we need to feel

before we start again

And how long?

Do we need to cry?

Before the tears grow cold

Before the lies run dry



And I

I didn't want this

I should've been there

I could've stopped this

Heart for you



And I

I didn't want this

I should've been there

I could've stopped this

Heart for you



And how long?

And how much pain?

Do we need to feel

before we start again

And how long?

Do we need to cry?

Before the tears grow cold

Before the lies run dry



I didn't want this

I didn't know it

I didn't want this

I didn't end it



I didn't want this

I didn't know it

I didn't want this

I didn't end it



And I
