Darlin'

Even though you know that you never said it right I don't want you know. Not just to be polite If you figured the words, you wouldn't let them go If you worked up the nerve, you'd say it like a joke I don't know why time won't let me go back twice I know that's bending the rules, but don't that work sometimes? I don't want you to ask what I am doing here Nineteen-something-and nine, that was a different year I've been here too long Would you like time on your own If I'm imposing on you Well it's only cause I had nothing to do You tell me you know, like all your thoughts are facts Like no-one else can see that everyone's in drag Go ahead and go, I have got nowhere to be Go ahead and perform your personality I just want you to know that if you don't come back I don't want you to change, I never felt like that So I'm not gonna ask you to apologize Think you mighta mistook me for a different guy I've been alone for such a long time I've been alone for such a long time, darlin If you miss a beat, would it be mine? Cause I been alone for such a long time darlin You stood in the door. Watched as I wept but loneliness suits me Just a lie that you told with my name in quotes There's always something in me that comes around too slow Have to let you go now I have to let you be There was some part of you that never wanted me That won't happen again and I can take your blame If you were reading my thoughts you'd see the ways I've changed That was somebody else living another life Think it's time that I left the thought of it behind I've been alone for such a long time I've been alone for such a long time, darlin If you miss a beat, would it be mine? Cause I been alone for such a long time darlin I've been alone for such a long time I've been alone for such a long time, darlin If you miss a beat, would it be mine? Cause I been alone for such a long time darlin No use in me calling for you I bet you forgot My name
