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?
