How Long Will It Take

Always trying to play one more hand
Get back what she lost the night before
She keeps telling her babies
This time is the last time
They don't believe her anymore
Not anymore
She says life is a gamble
Doesn't matter if you save or spend
Only her family knows the pain
Of picking her up again

How long will it take for you to come down?
Will it take for you to come down?
What happens when you hit the ground?
How long will it take for you to come down?
Will it take for you to come down?
What happens when you hit the ground?

She still hasn't figured it out
That there's more to life than chasing thrills
(There's so much more)
Her children grown
And forced to face the fact that
Maybe she never will
She never will
Tears stream from her eyes
As she's telling her lies
Weaving stories
To make them sorry
So they might sympathize

How long will it take for you to come down?
Will it take for you to come down?
What happens when you hit the ground?
How long will it take for you to come down?
Will it take for you to come down?
What happens when you hit the ground?

How long will it take for you to come down?
Will it take for you to come down?
What happens when you hit the ground?
How long will it take for you to come down?
Will it take for you to come down?
What happens when you hit the ground?

How long?
How long?
