lyrics

It's never easy, leaving alone
Sitting up at the table making numbers turn odd
I try to pretend, it doesn't hurt me at all
I act so self assured, I act as though I'm adored

And I hold my breath as they tell me again
It won't be long, it won't be long

Go and explore, the world while you can
Cause you're just too young, to settle for less
And one day you'll find, you haven't got time
And there'll be no room, for a bitter decline

And I hold my breath as they tell me again
It won't be long, it won't be long
And I hold my breath as they tell me again
It won't be long, it won't be long

And all the girls are living with the boys
And their bank accounts are becoming joint
And everything's moving as it should
Well I would if I could, I would if I understood

And I hold my breath as they tell me again
It won't be long, it won't be long
And I hold my breath as I think back to when
It won't be long, it won't be long
