Where Have You Been All My Life Lyrics

I'm starting to believe that you could need me

I built my walls and dug my ditches deeply

Letting someone in ain't always easy

When I've been on my own so completely

Years went by with my house on fire

And my tears couldn't put it out

Flames grew higher and I heard the choir

I was drowning in a drought

Baby, where have you been all my life

Loneliness cut like a knife

Oh I bled and I've been

Waiting for you ever since

You stop to kiss me even when we argue

I'm trying to memorize your every tattoo

You're worshiping my body like a statue

I never asked you, but were you sad too

Nights fly by with just you and I

Silent whispers mouth to mouth

Bandaged scars that were on my heart

No, you never had a doubt

Baby, where have you been all my life

Loneliness cut like a knife

Oh I bled and I've been

Waiting for you ever since

Baby, where have you been all my life

Me without you just ain't right

I'm not trying to be clever

But damn, you took forever, baby

Nights fly by with just you and I

Silent whispers mouth to mouth

Bandaged scars that were on my heart

No, you never had a doubt

Baby, where have you been all my life

Loneliness cut like a knife

Oh I bled and I've been

Waiting for you ever since

Baby, where have you been all my life

Me without you just ain't right

I'm not trying to be clever

But damn, you took forever, baby

Nights fly by with just you and I

Silent whispers mouth to mouth

Bandaged scars that were on my heart

No, you never had a doubt

Baby, where have you been all my life

Me without you just ain't right

I'm not trying to be smart

But I wish I had you from the start
