Story Behind The Song

The one I loved broke up with me and I didn't want to move, I just wanted to be left alone to cry. I knew I wasn't alone.

Song Description

This song tells the story of a guy who has just undergone a break up and all he wants to do is lay on the floor and sulk. He doesn't want to see anyone or talk to anyone on the phone. He just lets it ring and ring all day. He realizes that he won't be able to share his life with the one he loves, all the beautiful dreams he had are shattered. And, it will be a longtime before he will be able to let her out of his heart and even longer before she will be out of his mind.

Lyrics

It?ll Be A Longtime
Words and Music by: Terri Marinaro (c) 2002

I don?t wanna be loved anymore.
I don?t wanna be here anymore.
?Cause I don?t have you to be the sun that dawns my day,
That dawns my day.

I can?t stand people?s talk anymore.
And I?ll just stay right here, stretched out alone on the floor.
?Cause I don?t have you to be the ocean waves on my shore,
No more, on my shore.

Chorus:
It?ll be a longtime before
My mind will let you go.
Longtime before
Your shadow leaves mine alone.
People tell me it?s wrong
To leave yourself locked up alone.
You don?t answer the telephone
When it rings all day;
When it rings, when it rings, when it rings all day.

Music Bridge

We can?t paint the sky anymore.
And I can?t ask you why, I can?t ask you why anymore;
Do the flowers blossom in the spring? Why can?t they stay all year, all year?
Why can?t they stay all year?

Repeat Chorus
