Lyrics
Long Gone
I lie upon pages that mention your name
Should have been long gone
I’m gonna tell you how it is like a man
If I knew what that meant
Taken away
Been long gone
Long gone
I stare like a man who’s been marbled and chiseled
To represent the nobler half
But I’m hollow
I’ve been shallowed
I feel like a photograph
Taken away
Been long gone
Long gone
And the hardest thing to lose
Is the hope you never questioned
But it slipped away - just like you
Caught a cool breeze blowing over my glass of warm red wine
And it ain’t funny like they say that it is
As cold parallels seep through the mind
Taken away
Been long gone
Long gone
And the hardest thing to lose
Is the hope you never questioned
But it slipped away - just like you
And it slipped away - just like you
Yes it slipped away - just like you
