Gone Lyrics

you didn’t give me answer when i asked you where you were going
you gave me a brief glance, devoid of expression, as you walked out the door
and i just stood there disbelieving, but all the while knowing
that you could not find any reason to stay with me one minute more

but how can you say, how can you say you don’t know me
when i have been there for you, there for you through thick and thin
and how could you one day suddenly say you were too tired of trying
you tell me there’s no use denying it, there’s simply no other way

now with every confidence broken and every vow unfulfilled
tell me the words that will shatter the will that keeps me hanging on
and i will be gone, i will be gone

what were you trying to tell me when all of those time through the years
i reached out but you turned me away
was i so tied up in my world that when you spoke i wasn’t listening until eventually there was nothing at all left to say

well i cannot tell you enough times how sorry i am
and i cannot undo the pain or the lingering hurt i have caused
but if we both are ready and willing to change
maybe we can still recover a love that so nearly was lost

but if you’ve got other intentions, well that means we end here
send me a signal and please make it clear
and end this marathon
and i will be gone, i will be gone

don’t leave me waiting here, tell me, tell me
you know the line’s nearly broken and it’s time we choose
do we make repairs or do we sever it completely

this silent distance between us grows wider every day
and it’s only a matter of time either way
end this marathon
and i will be gone, i will be gone
