Gone
Gone
I touch your face with my sweaty palm,
I see the love but the feeling is gone.
You look through me, your smile so calm,
I remember that feeling, when your love was won.
I hate to feel this, but it’s no longer there.
What used to be happy now is no more the same.
I used to be faithful; I used to really care,
Now I don’t feel serious; my excuses are lame.
Maybe I’m tired of all the screaming and shouting,
I blame myself more than I blame you.
Maybe I’m sick of all the cussing and doubting,
I can’t stay this way; I know you feel it too.
It pains me to see you cry, to see you walk away,
But I’d rather hurt you now than lie forever.
Find someone else, there’s no use for you so stay,
I’m sorry for the hurt, but happiness you won’t find with me, never.
