Yeah, I’ve been taking pills
To wake me up and give me that good feeling
To help me find some reason in your leaving
To help me understand where it went wrong

And I’ve been giving in
To all the people constantly shit talking
Behind my back, I say that I’m not falling
But in my heart I’m sinking like a stone

Can you tell me how long?
How long till I learn from my mistakes?
How long will I pretend that things are going my way?
Yeah, how long?
Can you tell me how long?
How long can I float without a change?
How long till I learn to love the right way?
Yeah, how long?
Can you tell me how long?

How long, how long
Till I learn to love again?
How long, how long
Does it take to comprehend?
How long, how long
Does it take to make a man?

Well, I try and think it over
But I overthink it all
Maybe that’s my problem
Maybe that’s where we went wrong

And you ain’t used to being honest
While I can only be sincere
And I was never good at acting
You should know by now I’ve never been

Can you tell me how long?
How long till I learn from my mistakes?
How long will I pretend that things are going my way?
Yeah, how long?
Can you tell me how long?
How long can I float without a change?
How long till I learn to love the right way?
Yeah, how long?
Can you tell me how long?

How long, how long
Till I learn to love again?
How long, low long
Does it take to comprehend?
How long, how long
Does it take to make a man?
Does it take to make a man?
Tell me, how long
Does it take to make a man?

Tell me it’s gonna change
Tell me one day this will end
Am I ever gonna wake up
And never look that way again?

Can you tell me how long?
How long till I learn from my mistakes?
How long will I pretend that things are going my way?
Yeah, how long?
Can you tell me how long?
How long can I float without a change?
How long till I learn to love the right way?
Yeah, how long?
Can you tell me how long?

How long, how long
Till I learn to love again?
How long, low long
Does it take to comprehend?
How long, how long
Does it take to make a man?

Can you tell me how long?
Tell me, how long
Does it take to make a man?
