True and Beautiful

Exploring The War


Listen Later

Jennifer and Jeremy explore the explosion that rocked their marriage.

For a Long, Long Time

I was

Unwilling to believe

You were telling me the truth

That you loved

Were thinking of me

Selfish was the word I thought you were

Like all the rest, I’d heard

Greedy and self-serving

Out for power

Out for over

I lay it all down

I apologize

Don’t let it be too late

To know you love me

To know you’ve loved me

For a long, long time

Wave the magic wand

Tug hard, ‘til the walls come down

I want to see outside

Want to soak in the horizon

Want to run

Without slamming into stone

Want to fly away

With you

So I lay it all down

Hold my hands high, apologize

Don’t let it be too late

To know you love me

To know you’ve loved me

For a long, long time

I see you now

I see you

I believe

Help my un-love

Disappear

Melt into the dust

Wash away in the flood

As I lay it all down

Lay myself down

I know it’s not too late

To know you love me

To know you’ve loved me

For a long, long time.

You have loved me

For a long, long time.
