Gone Long Gone - American Aquarium

I’ve spent my whole life runnin' from the truth

Blamed it on the women and I blamed it on the booze

When you want what you ain’t got, you lose what you do

And she’ll be gone, long gone

I’ve set fire to bridges just to watch them come undone

Fought so many battles, and yet a single war I’ve won

Why play the game when you know the outcome?

She’ll be gone, long gone

Gone like the nights we would lie awake

Talkin' to the sun supposed to be

And I know one day she won’t be comin' back

Naw she ain’t ever coming back

I’ve been known to let my pride get in the way

Of sayin' the important things she needed me to say

Like tellin' her «I'm sorry babe, let’s try it your way»

Now she’s gone, long gone

Gone like the nights we would lie awake

Talkin' to the sun supposed to be

And I know one day she won’t be comin' back

No she ain’t ever coming back

Now I’m left to think about what might have been

If I’d have only listened to her and tried to comprehend

Not takin' her for granted time and time again

She won’t be gone, long gone

Gone like the nights we would lie awake

Talkin' to the sun supposed to be

I know one day she won’t be comin' back

No she ain’t ever coming back

No she ain’t ever comin' back
