Long are the days

When you're turning away

From the reasons you strung

Long is the way

When you're aching to say

But your teeth bite your tongue

Loud is the wind

In your ears as you spin

As you look for the sun

Loud are the skies

As you thunder your cries

When your prayers are sung

Hard is the floor

As the waves pound the shore

Of your wounds

Roll up your sleeve

It's hard to believe

But it's you

Love it or leave it [x4]

You got to believe it

[X2]

My oh my! it hurts sometimes

My oh my! it hurts sometimes

I think I'm running out of time

Before I'm gonna lose my mind

Slow is the night

When you reach for the light

But the dark lingers on

Slow is the bite

Of the words that you write

When it's finally dawn

How can you swim

When the waters are streaming

In you

Roll up your sleeve

Now love it or leave it

It's you

Love it or leave it [x4]

You got to believe it

[X4]

My oh my! it hurts sometimes

Oh my oh my! it hurts sometimes

I think I'm running out of time

Before I'm gonna lose my mind
