Only The Poets Gone By Now Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold words and hard tempers
We let them get away
Let them get away
You can't take back the things you never meant to say

[Pre-Chorus]
Already been a week, but I still feel you on me
You've already made my mind up
I'm better off lonely
You're that type of feeling
I know you ain't leaving
I still believe it
[Chorus]
Never really happens
But it happens with you
Haunted by the heartbreak
You're still living in my head, babe
Hanging around
I thought you'd be gone
Be gone by now

[Post-Chorus]
Gone by now
Gone by now
Gone by now

[Verse 2]
Lights, camera, action
Fatal attraction
Nothing as messed up as anger and passion
I want you to leave, to leave, to leave
I want you to stay, to stay with me

[Pre-Chorus]
Already been a week, but I still feel you on me
You've already made my mind up I'm better off lonely
You're that type of feeling
I know you ain't leaving
I still believe it
[Chorus]
Never really happens
But it happens with you
Haunted by the heartbreak
You're still living in my head, babe
Hanging around
I thought you'd be gone
Be gone by now

[Post-Chorus]
Gone by now
Gone by now
Gone by now

[Bridge]
It's so unfair
You keep me here
Stuck in the middle of all of this, what I want and what it is
What I've got and what I miss, yeah

[Chorus]
Never really happens
But it happens with you
Haunted by the heartbreak
You're still living in my head, babe
Hanging around
I thought you'd be gone
Be gone by now
[Post-Chorus]
(I thought you'd be gone by now)
Gone by now
(I thought you'd be gone by now)
Gone by now
(I thought you'd be gone)
Gone by now
(By now)
