How Long (Will It Take)

Didn't work out the way I thought I must have mistaken myself for someone I was not, oh no So I pushed myself to see how far I could go Didn't need to look that far to learn what I needed to know Didn't wanna be a quitter But I had to find my way How long (how long) Will it take? Oh How long (how long) Will it take me to feel? How long (how long) Will it take? Oh How long until it's the way I thought it would be? When I won't aim to please And you watched me draw the line Never to be cast again in the same light, oh no And I don't blame you, they were choices I made Didn't want to let you down but I can't play it that safe In your mind am I a sinner Looking for relief? How long (how long) Will it take? Oh How long (how long) Will it take me to feel? How long (how long) Will it take? Oh How long until it's the way I thought it would be? When I won't aim to please When I won't aim to please When I won't aim to please No, I won't be a doll in your pretty dollhouse No, I won't be the plaything that you can toss around No, I won't be the child who lives for acceptance No, I won't any longer live in my reflection How long Will it take? Oh How long Will it take me to feel? How long Will it take? Oh How long Will it take me to feel? How long (how long) Will it take? Oh How long (how long) Will it take me to feel? How long (how long) Will it take? Oh How long until it's the way I thought it would be When I won't aim to please When I won't aim to please When I won't aim to please
