Lately youve been acting in a role thats unbecoming
Of the girl who taught me there was so much in this world worth living.
The part that youve been playing has me dazed and missing you.
But now youre gone, gone, gone.
The promise never harvested in fallow fields shall lie.
In a shallow grave of stubble field and half-remembered lies.
A burning heart deceived me and you really put me on,
But now youre gone, gone, gone.
The memories are bittersweet;
The taste you leave is still stuck in my mouth.
I want to touch you, want to breathe you,
Say, "Fuck you I dont need you - get out...right now."
We were strangers when we met
And we were strangers when you left
Into a shadow world of painted girls and marionettes.
Used to pride myself on living a life without any regrets,
But now thats gone, gone, gone.
How can such sweet kisses come from such a poison tongue?
How can a bed of roses hurt so much to lie upon?
It was the thorn beneath the flower that I wasnt counting on.
And now youre gone, gone, gone.
The memories are bittersweet;
The taste you leave is still stuck in my mouth.
I want to touch you, want to breathe you,
Say, "Fuck you I dont need you - get out...right now."
The citys not the same,
But all the streets they know your name.
They ask me all about you, but my answers pull up lame.
Im staggering in last nights clothes and its starting to rain.
And you are gone, gone, gone.
If parted by a river that was running deep and wide,
Id build a boat to get to you or else Id drink it dry.
Could fill it back up right now as the tears fall from my eyes.
And you are gone, gone, gone.
The memories are bittersweet;
The taste you leave is still stuck in my mouth.
I want to touch you, want to breathe you,
Say, "Fuck you I dont need you - get out...right now."
Babe if we should meet again way on down the road.
Do me this one favor and pretend we never knowed.
Ill say that you remind me of a girl I knew so long ago,
But now shes gone, gone, gone
