Illiterate Light Sometimes Love Takes So Long Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Used to be green like two bezel lids
Left by the window we're going to seed
What in the world happened to you and me?

Used to be red like strawberry bread
Simple and sweet and we both got fed
Now I'm spitting sugar, lonely in my head

[Bridge]
Don't break the silence with empty words
Don't fan the fire of my heartburn
Don't make a joke of our hard work
Lord only knows

[Chorus]
Sometimes love takes so long
Here's my heart to write on
Every word is bittersweet

[Verse 2]
Your therapist, my shaken knees
Not together, desperately
We made a promise
One that we can't keep

I was too young to understand
Now I'm too old to give a damn What in the world happened to you and me?

[Bridge]
So don't break the silence with empty words
Don't fan the fire of my heartburn
Don't make a joke of our hard work
Lord only knows

[Chorus]
Sometimes love takes so long
Here's my heart to write on
Every word is bittersweet

[Chorus 2]
Sometimes love takes so long
Come on sweet to stay strong
Circle back to you and me

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Sometimes love takes so long
Here's my heart to write on
Every word is bittersweet

[Chorus 2]
Sometimes love takes so long
Come on sweet to stay strong
Circle back to you and me

Sometimes love takes so long
