Longest Year

this old house is hot
i never feel the breeze that once would cool
these walls are just a memory now of you
and all i’ve done wrong

the hope we had have died
i wanted you here and by my side
but, suddenly i went and lost my mind
and now you’re gone

i’ve made some bad choices i suppose
this is one of them that has left me alone, and
this has been the longest year of my life
if i had known it would turn out like this
if i had known just how much i’d miss you
this has been the longest year of my life

this old house gets hot
i never feel the breeze that once would cool
these walls are just a memory now of you
and all i’ve done wrong

the hope we had have died
i wanted you here and by my side
but, suddenly i went and lost my mind
and now you’re gone

the sky is more grey and the birds are more black
the sky is more grey and the birds are more black
the sky is more grey and the birds are more black
you don't know how much i want you back and
this has been the longest year
this has been the longest year
this has been the longest year of my
