It's Been a While - London Black

You’re constantly at each other’s throats

The only way that we’ve ever known

Now tell me, when did things change?

Or has it always been this way?

I hope not for your sake

You’re holding through the fear of shame

We’re far too close to see what you became

Your world is burning, yet you feel compelled to stay

Now, it’s been a while

Since we’ve seen the best of you

You’re wearing a smile

That we can all see through

Now I’m begging you

It’s not what you’ve intended, I know

But it’s been years since this house felt like a home

No, two good people can’t always make things right

Why you holding on so tight?

Don’t say were what you’re together for

It’s so clear that you’re not happy anymore

Know there were good times but they feel so far away

Now, it’s been a while

Since we’ve seen the best of you

You’re wearing a smile

That we can all see through

Now I’m begging you

It couldn’t be any clearer

That the ends getting nearer

Just gotta say it out loud

Not to yourself

Now, it’s been a while

Since we’ve seen the best of you

You’re wearing a smile

That we can all see through

Now, it’s been a while

Since we’ve seen the best of you

You’re wearing a smile

That we can all see through

Now I’m begging you
