Yael Naim - Too Long lyrics

I waited for so long outside myself

you see I was pretending to be someone else

I was longing to see who I wanted to be

And I’ve been waiting on my own

I’ve been waiting for too long

not strong enough to be with you

And I’ve been making up my world

I’ve been painting it with gold

not strong enough to see you, oh

I irrigate illusions then let them grow

how can I pacify myself and let go?

And I ran wild to see who I turned out to be

I’ve been waiting on my own

I’ve been waiting for too long

not strong enough to be with you

And I’ve been making up my world

I’ve been painting it with gold

not strong enough to see you

And I’ve been waiting on my own

I’ve been waiting for too long

not strong enough to be with you

And I’ve been making up my world

I’ve been painting it with gold

not strong enough to see you

I’ve been waiting on my own

but it was too cold in my world, my world

And I’ve been waiting on my own

I’ve been waiting for too long

Not strong enough to be with you

And I’ve been making up my world

I’ve been painting it with gold

not strong enough to see you

See you, oh no

(Strong enough I’m not strong enough to see you)

See you

(Strong enough I’m not strong enough to see you)

(Strong enough I’m not strong enough to see you)
