Gone Girl

I was gone before I left
I'd tried to find those feelings I'd once felt.
I forced a smile
In private I wept..
  I was gone before I left
I tried to forget about all the secrets you'd kept
I'd like awake next to you
While you peacefully slept..
  I was gone before I left
Id search for the answers that I'd never get
I blamed myself and became depressed
As you carried on with no regrets..
  I'm far from innocent
Never have I ever claimed to be
I didn't want you to stay
You wouldn't let me leave..
  You say our fate
Is something you'll never accept
But I had been gone
Long before I actually left..
