The phone rings
Middle on the night
I fumble through the file
To find the light

I hear your voice at the end of the line
Saying, baby we can make it work this time
Its' not that I dont believe thats it's so
There's just one thing I need to know
So baby won't you tell me

How long is this time gonna be
Till you decide that you wanna be free
How long is this time gonna take
Till I'm laying awake with another heart ache
How long is this time gonna be

You look like an angle standing at my door
Just as beautiful as everytime before
You know my heart like the back of your hand
And what I wouldn't do to have you love me again
But one more fall is all I can take
So have mercy on me for heavens sake
And tell me

How long is this time gonna be
Till you decide to fly away from me
How long is this time gonna last
Till someone new puts me back in your past
How long is this time gonna be

My foolish mind wants you back in my bed
But my better judgement's still shakin his head
Baby you make it so hard to be strong
I want so bad to believe this night can make it allright
Oh but what if I'm wrong
So please tell me

How long is this time gonna be
Till you turn around and walk out on me
How long till this time has to end
And you leave my life in pieces again
How long is this time gonna hurt
If you decide forevers never going to work
How long is this time gonna be

Baby tell me
How long is this time gonna be

I know I shouldn't but I will
I can't hid the way i feel
tell me this time that it's real
how long??
