You and I are living heavy hearted
Are we just another long goodbye?
In this land of the left and leaving
We know that we gotta try

How long can we go on?
Here in the middle we won't give a little
How long can we go on like this?
Oh, won't you tell me
How long can we go on?
Heartbreak is what it takes sometimes to see
But what about you and me?
How long?
How long?

Forgiveness is a heavy promise
It's a language that's so hard to speak
I'm hearing whispers by the darkest voices
But I know what you mean to me
So much to to me

How long can we go on?
Here in the middle we won't give a little
How long can we go on like this?
Oh, won't you tell me
How long can we go on?
Heartbreak is what it takes sometimes to see
But what about you and me?
How long?
How long?

All we are, we are
What we'll be, we'll be
You and I we gotta find the burned up bridge to each other's side
It's the only way to see

How long can we go on?
How long can we go on?

How long can we go on?
Barely living when nobody's giving in
How long can we go on like this?
Oh, won't you tell me
How long can we go on?
Heartbreak is what it takes sometimes to see
But what about you and me?
How long?
How long?
No it won't take a heartbreak
How long?
