You'Ve Gone
You said "why don't you just get over it",
But it's really not that easy,
I feel incomplete without you here,
Wondering where we went wrong.
For once I was happier than ever,
I could feel the fireworks,
I felt the sparks and saw the color
In your cheeks when we kissed.
I heard warmth in your words,
Saw your eyes sparkle,
How could you say it was a mistake,
It was all just a lie?
I've lost my way now,
Can't get back home,
No matter how far I travel
It's never far enough.
I'm running to the place,
The one you once called home,
And I can't stop from screaming your name,
But I know you won't be there.
I’m trying my hardest, really,
But I’m constantly being reminded,
It’s not fair but what can I do?
I swore that was the last time.
It’s not like you didn’t know
I loved you, you knew, the thing is,
I thought you felt this way too,
And now your story’s changed to suit you.
What were you so afraid of?
You promised me forever,
What made you change your mind?
I don’t understand.
I've lost my way now,
Can't get back home,
No matter how far I travel
It's never far enough.
I'm running to the place,
The one you once called home,
And I can't stop from screaming your name,
But I know you won't be there.
And all I can say is,
I tried, I tried to love you
But you didn’t want it,
You pulled away.
So why can’t I stay away?
You’re a drug, you left me
Breathless, defenseless,
Nowhere else to turn.
You said "just move on,
I don’t know what you expect of me",
I was just a silly mistake to you,
A foolish girl who fell for lies.
I've lost my way now,
Can't get back home,
No matter how far I travel
It's never far enough.
I'm running to the place,
The one you once called home,
And I can't stop from screaming your name,
But I know you won't be there
Every minute I waste
Is another minute gone,
But I can’t stop myself,
You got under my skin.
Made a home inside my heart,
And tore my feelings apart,
I’ve become numb, I don’t
Know what to feel anymore.
It’s so frustrating, tiring to still
Stand here waiting, hoping
You’ll change your mind and see
I’ve always been here.
And maybe this is just
A repeat of everything,
Maybe I do deserve better,
But I never wanted better.
I've lost my way now,
Can't get back home,
No matter how far I travel
It's never far enough.
I'm running to the place,
The one you once called home,
And I can't stop from screaming your name,
But I know you won't be there....
