lyrics

It was the coldest May ever-ever,
last year
I never cried so many tears
Brought to my lowest self
Surrounded by my fears

It was a different kind of numbness that went thru me
You left and I realized I needed you the most.

Oooh…cause You left me on my own baby (yeah)
And bad enuf the whole world’s shaky
And now I’m living it without ya

Hook:
Long Run
(These are my hard truths)
Long Run
(Oh Girl, it will be better for you)
In the Long Run
(Got-to do what ya gotta do and move on)
Long Run
It will be better

No back and forth
When you walked out the door
I decided to love myself more
I can’t disrespect myself
For your ease and your comfort

I can admit that I still love ya
But my boundary line is real strong

Ooh I will remember you forever darling
And loving you was my heart’s calling
But, I’ll accept moving on without ya

Hook:
Long Run
Long Run
In the Long Run
Long Run
It will be better
it will be better
it will be better

These are my hardest truths
(These are my hardest truths)
I have nothing to lose
(Gave the best of me, just to be a fool, come on)
But my chains
(So caught up in the pain, I was afraid to lose these chains)
And, all of this pain
(because..it meant…losing you…)
These are my hardest truths

Oooh …You-were-right-its-o-kay-to-let-it-go,
No-animosity-it’s-all-respect-tho
We-tried-it died-I grieved-turned-the-page-yo.

Oooh …because, I feel another life calling
A new love who is present, all in
I finally see a silver lining
In the long run it will be better!

Hook:
Long Run
Long Run
In the Long Run
Long Run
In the Long Run
Long Run
(yeah) (It’ll be bettttaaaaa)
In the Long Run
(I’m ready for new life, mew love, new everything)
Long Run
It will be better!
MMHMMM Lord, it will be better, babe…
(scat)
