Sitting here , all alone   Wondering what to do   Life went faster than the time   I had to achieve the things I had in mind      Their disguise , I see with my eyes   Many things I should have realized   A long time ago , long long time ago      Never changing , ever aging   It drags from day to day   I wish that I had found myself   Before it robbed me of the time      Oh no , oh no   I should have realized   A long long time ago   A long time ago   A long time ago      (break)      Seeing things , open doors   People invited me into   Oh they were so good to me   And always helped me on my way      Then I woke from this dream   Known that I should have realized   A long time ago   Long long time ago      Another day , another way   I don't care what people say   No , I realize that there's no other way for me      Suppose I'll just have to live from day to day   Oh no , oh no   I should have realized   A long long time ago   A long time ago   A long time ago
