Albert Hammond Jr - Darlin' Lyrics

Even though you know that you never said it right

I don't want you know. Not just to be polite.

If you figured the words, you wouldn't let them go

If you worked up the nerve, you'd say it like a joke

I don't know why time won't let me go back twice

I know that's bending the rules, but don't that work sometimes?

I don't want you to ask what I am doing here

Nineteen-something-and nine, that was a different year

I've been here too long

Would you like time on your own

If I'm imposing on you

Well it's only cause I had nothing to do

You tell me you know, like all your thoughts are facts

Like no-one else can see that everyone's in drag

Go ahead and go, I have got nowhere to be

Go ahead and perform your personality

I just want you to know that if you don't come back

I don't want you to change, I never felt like that

So I'm not gonna ask you to apologize

Think you mighta mistook me for a different guy

I've been alone for such a long time

I've been alone for such a long time, darlin

If you miss a beat, would it be mine?

Cause I been alone for such a long time darlin,

You stood in the door. Watched as I wept but loneliness suits me

Just a lie that you told with my name in quotes

There's always something in me that comes around too slow

Have to let you go now I have to let you be

There was some part of you that never wanted me

That won't happen again and I can take your blame

If you were reading my thoughts you'd see the ways I've changed

That was somebody else living another life

Think it's time that I left the thought of it behind

I've been alone for such a long time

I've been alone for such a long time, darlin

If you miss a beat, would it be mine?

Cause I been alone for such a long time darlin,

I've been alone for such a long time

I've been alone for such a long time, darlin

If you miss a beat, would it be mine?

Cause I been alone for such a long time darlin,

No use in me calling for you

I bet you forgot

My name
