But How Long - James Fauntleroy/ Titus Johnson

yesterday i heard my phone ring
looked at the screen and couldn't believe the name i've seen (oh)
cos its been about a year since you ran off outta here
you're telling me you want back
but i won't bother turning back (?) for you
i'll tell my heart don't get too comfortable
you don't know how long she'll be here
you know how she does
one minutes she's here and then she's gone
her footprint are still visible from last time
you left then you forgot to close the door
cos you didn't want to see more and now you're back
and i have to ask

but how long will you be in my life this time babe
when will you leave again
tell me how long before you walk away
you say you're here to stay but how long
but how long, but how long, but how long
but how long..

i should of never told you that you hold the key to my heart
cos now you think that you can come and go whenever you want
and it's not ok but i don't have the strength to turn you away
and i won't bother turning back (?) for you
i'll tell my heart don't get too close to you
you don't know how long she'll be here
you know how she does
one minutes she's here and then she's gone
her footprint are still visible from last time
you left then you forgot to close the door
cos you didn't want to see more and now you're back
and i have to ask

but how long will you be in my life this time babe
when will you leave again
tell me how long before you walk away
you say you're here to stay but how long

if you wanna stay then don't go nowhere
but if you wanna leave then get outta here
your history tells me you're here temporary
you're good for leaving me all alone (whoa)
her footprint are still visible from last time
you left then you forgot to close the door
cos you didn't want to see more and now you're back
and i have to ask

but how long will you be in my life this time babe
when will you leave again
tell me how long before you walk away
you say you're here to stay but how long
