So Long
by Morgan Foster & Tim Haig

She was first on my list
I was last on her’s
But she used me anyway to feel
Something, nothing, anything
She said that I was in between
Something real and something lost
But when she was through with me
It was jaded, faded, fumbled, tumbled down

Chorus
Why does it always hurt so long?
Why does it always feel so wrong?
Why do I feel it even when you’re long gone?
Why does it always hurt so long?

The next one came fast
I figured what the hell?
Didn’t think it could be worse
I needed something, nothing, anything
But she was just like the rest
She fit the need I thought I had, nothing more
I thought I’ve changed, I’ve changed, I’ve changed
It still all fell down

So now we’re back to this
Old familiar place
I thought we could be more then this
Absolute perfect nothing
But patience is a virtue
That I’ve never had
But I guess I’m content here
But it still hurts so long
