Abbye West Pates - Long Year Lyrics

I'm not ready
Not ready to quit this fight
I'll stay up with you all night if I have to
Is it too early
Too early to feel this pain
How did we let it get this way overnight
It's been a long year
We don't agree on much these days
It's been hard to hear
Some of what you have to say
But no one said it'd be easy
Now did they
I used to think
That we'd agree on everything with time
But then time keeps passing by, and we're still fightin'
I used to believe
We'd always come to the same conclusion
Somehow find a resolution at the end
What if we don't even make it to the end
It's been a long year
We don't agree on much these days
It's been hard to hear
Some of what you have to say
But no one said it'd be easy
Now did they
No one prepared you or tried to dissuade you from the road you started down
And no one can save you once you're out there
And maybe it'd be better, just a little better if it was anybody but me
It's forever, only me
I hope it's forever only me
It's been a long year
I wish we agreed on more these days
It's been hard to learn how to change
But I want many more years
And I'll do whatever it takes
'Cause no one said it'd be easy, now did they
Oh, I'm here to stay
Oh, I'm here to stay
