Been Too Long Lyrics - Emmy Rossum

September, the leaves were falling red and gold 

And I remember the way you pulled me closer 

Nothing else existed in the world we lived in 

Hidden, we didn't see the storm was coming closer 

That was then 

But the time has come and gone 

Nothing left but a broken story 

We can't change, can't erase 

Nothing that we can say now 

Can get back what we gave up 

That was then, this is now 

It's been too long 

December, when we were 

Drifting like the falling snow 

Around us but then a winter's chill 

Blew through your heart 

Mistakes we made 

Didn't know what they'd change 

The silence, was so hard 

But I am stronger for it 

That was then 

But the time has come and gone 

Nothing left but a broken story 

We can't change, can't erase 

Nothing that we can say now 

Can get back what we gave up 

That was then, this is now 

It's been too long 

September, the leaves are 

Falling gold again 

I remember the way we were 

That was then 

But the time has come and gone 

Nothing left but a broken story 

We can't change, can't erase 

Nothing that we can say now 

Can get back what we gave up 

That was then, this is now 

It's been too long 

It's been too long 

It's been too long
