How Long Lyrics by Carly Pearce

How low down does that old sun have to set?
How lonely does a good girl have to get?
Do I just hold my breath until I’m blue?
How long am I supposed to wait for you?

How many teardrops will I have to cry?
How many sleepless nights will pass me by?
Boy, don’t tell me nothing but the truth
How long am I supposed to wait for you?

You’re never at home, home, home
Whenever I call, call, call
The phone goes ring, ring, ring
I don’t know what to think

The thought of losing you is my worst fear
Ain’t nothing left to love if you ain’t here
Boy, what in the world you been up to?
How long am I supposed to wait for you?

You’re never at home, home, home
Whenever I call, call, call
The phone goes ring, ring, ring
I don’t know what to think

One day, when you get tired of bein’ gone
You’re gonna wish you hadn’t done me wrong
But don’t come back here moaning the blues
How long was I supposed to wait for you?
No, don’t come back here moaning the blues
How long was I supposed to wait for you?
