How Long

Written by Marty Stuart, Connie Smith and Harlan Howard

I'm still hurtin'
I've tried everything I know
I could walk away but there's no place to go
Just like a shadow, your memory follows me
And no matter where I go, I can't find a place to be

How long, how long does a heart have to break
Oh, how much can it take before it forgets and moves on
Regrets, there's so much regret
Oh I know that in time I'll forget, but how long

Could someone tell me is there a certain day or night
My heart will whisper that everything's all right
And that it's over and finally I'm free
But tonight all this waitin' seems just like eternity

How long, how long does a heart have to break
Oh, how much can it take before it forgets and moves on
Regrets, there's so much regret
Oh I know that in time I'll forget, but how long
Regrets, there's so much regret
Yes I know that in time I'll forget, but how long
