I´ve been walking in the shadows for so long that I forgot the sun can shine I´ve turned away from everyone and everything that wanted to be mine
Somehow I always shot my eyes and heart to everything that I could share Now I´m standing still and I´m wondering just how long have you been there
And every path I´ve taken I have turned around and quickly closed the door It seems as though I knew if I ever stop to feel I want more I kept a steady run so my eyes could never focus anywhere Now I´m standing still and I´m wondering just how long have you been there
How long have you been standing there protecting me from love that shouldn´t be Knowing all alone that I could realize that you were meant for me
Now I´ve got to mend every broken fence and bridge that I have burned I´ve got to clear away the cobwebs in my heart so I can start to learn For I realize that you´ve been waiting just to teach me how to care Now I´m standing still and I´m wondering just how long have you been there
And now I´m standing still and I´m wondering just how long have you been there
