Wish I never asked ya, but it's killin' me to wonder

How long? How long?

Chorus:

How, how long have you loved another

While I'm dreamin' of us together?

How long? -How long?-

How long?

Verse 2:

Bridge:
Eb
I know love isn't fair

I know the heart wants what it wants

The feel the pain of losin' a lie

How long? -How long?, yeah-

How long? How long?
