Been So Long Lyrics

I can't believe that you're knocking
Knocking on my door
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh
Fate has a way of showing I'm where you belong
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh
I can't believe that you're knocking
Knocking on my door
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh
Fate has a way of showing I'm where you belong
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh
The sound of my heart stopping in surprise and song
It's been so long, been so long, oh
Time has a way of knowing what we have is strong
Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh....

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I believe the part you're looking for says "Fate has a way of showing harm where you belong" That's what I remember from memory, however, because thats just always what Ive thought it was.

The lyrics with a few slight corrections [well done, though!]:

I can't believe that you're knocking Knocking on my door Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh Fate has a way of showing I'm where you belong Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh I can't believe that you're knocking Knocking on my door Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh Fate has a way of showing I'm where you belong Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh The sound of my heart stopping in surprise and song It's been so long, been so long, oh Time has a way of knowing what we have is strong Oh it's been so long, been so long, oh....
