How Long Does It Take

[Intro] Mm, mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm [Verse 1] I met you at a George Street bar You were twenty-one A friend of yours introduced us We were both a little drunk You said you liked the music here I said I loved your sundress And suddenly it's closing time We were the last ones left [Pre-Chorus] It felt like I knew you Like I'd never lose you I saw how fast that love takes hold [Chorus] But how long does it take to let go Of the only love that I've еver known? Oh, how do I get over thе sleepless nights? Tell me why I feel this ache in my bones How long does it take to let go? [Verse 2] I used to see your eyes light up Whenever I came home Then you started looking through me I became a ghost [Pre-Chorus] I thought that I knew you That I'd never lose you I saw how fast that love takes hold [Chorus] But how long does it take to let go Of the only place that ever felt like home? How do I get over this agony? Tell me please, my heart's about to explode How long does it take to let go? [Bridge] Ohh, ohhh How long does it take to let go? Ohhh [Chorus] How long does it take to let go Of the only love that I've ever known? How do I get over the sleepless nights? Tell me why I feel this ache in my bones How long does it take to let go Of the only place that ever felt like home? How do I get over this agony? Tell me please, my heart's about to explode How long does it take to let go?
