Long Time Coming Lyrics

Been coming for a long, long time
Oh did you say this life could never be
It was never really up to me
Decided by a god I cannot know

And when you poured every little fluid ounce of trust
The overflowing cup was only just
Your cardboard cutout substitute for love

And tragically I'm holding on
But the game is lost and the crowd is gone

I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind, oh
Been coming for a long, long time

And in my head a girl is sitting there
She picks a patch of wall and stares
She tells her love, she's doomed to die alone

But then she'll rise and straighten crooked spine
And remember love and remember life
She buys a ticket that train will take her home

And I'm standing on the platform here
But all mirages disappear

I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind, oh
Been coming for a long, long time
