Elle Taylor, Rob Seaman, Gabriel Garcia - Taken Me a While Lyrics

I played the part of a puppet a kite in the wind
I laughed at jokes that were not funny just to satisfy my friends
And I've popped dream filled balloons because you said they would lead to dead ends
I can't blame you or anyone for following the trends
But now I'm writing every word in a notebook in my kitchen and I
Want to understand myself even if no one wants to listen and
These late nights on my porch unraveling trauma filled additions of
Who I was who I've been up til then
Its taken me a while it has taken me a while
Its taken me a while but I'm here
Now I'm growing out my hair because I like the way it feels and I've been
Patient with my heart and the way it needs to heal and I'm
Aware that there are parts of me that I don't wish on anyone in the world
But I am honest I'm broken but I'm real
Its taken me a while it has taken me a while it has taken me a while but I'm here
Its taken me a while it has taken me a while it has taken me a while but I'm here
