I didn't ask for this
I couldn't ask for that
I wouldn't ask for any change in plans

Am I ever right?
When you're such a brat
I feel much better in your hands

Try to take your word
I want to take you down
You never caught me lying

I'm trying not to shout
Wanna work it out
I've been so long denying

I'm a long time gone
Keeping your secrets for too long
Baby you ain't half of what you used to be

In this dim October sky
I've got no more tears left to cry
And I'm finally learning
That you can't be too strong

I'm a long time gone

When you understand
There's no one truth
And we're three-thousand miles apart

Try and act your age
And you're a flaming youth
You seek the end
But never start

If I'm a man
Do I have the strengh
To change what I'm becoming

I've been such a fool
Didn't want to lose
It's been a long time coming

I'm a long time gone
Keeping your secrets for too long
Baby you ain't half of what you used to be

In this dim October sky
I've got no more tears left to cry
And I'm finally learning
That you can't be too strong

I'm a long time gone

I'm a long time gone

I'm a long time gone
Keeping your secrets for too long
Baby you ain't half of what you used to be

In this dim October sky
I've got no more tears left to cry
And I'm finally learning
That you can't be too strong

I'm a long time gone
I'm a long time gone
I'm a long time gone
I'm a long time gone

Gin Blossoms is an American rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. They rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy”. “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold, and New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple platinum; four other charting singles were released from the album. The band’s follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996), went platinum and the single “As Long as It Matters” was nominated for a Grammy Award. Gin Blossoms broke up in 1997. Since reuniting in 2001, the band has released Major Lodge Victory in 2006, No Chocolate Cake in 2010, and Mixed Reality in 2018.
