Hope you proud, just knowing I tried
Up ten thousand miles, the Sun in my eyes
It don't feel blameless, the way we damaged by the time

Yet I get older with every July
Seasons change, despite what I'd like
Wake up, nigga, wake up
Can't believe we paid
Back a day, that felt vacant
Uh
I'd never change
Any day in your presence
Uh
And it's ok
Despite the pain
Got my face up
It's gonna be a while
Be a while
Knowing the good times
Immortalised in your smile
Just take your time

It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go

There you go
With those feelings only I could help describe
Know you'll never leave the corner of my mind
In the corner of my eye there was a tear
But you left before it dried

Remember when
There were promises you kept
But we never did
All those words you left unsaid ain't so innocent
And we're just passing by
In the next life, make sure to take your time, no, no

It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
