Gone

Falling and fading away

Gone

You don't cry out for help
I just stand and watch you fall
I no longer know what you want,
There was a time when I knew.

I can't give you what you need
You laugh, then cry, then run away
I can't listen to your abuse
You don't seem to want to talk.

And I can't stand around
Waiting for you
You're gone and there's nothing I can do
The love between us has suddenly gone
There's nothing left between us
Now that you're gone.

There's no need to cry
I'll be okay, I'll be alright
I can't listen to your lies
I won't go back.

And I can't stand around
Waiting for you
You're gone and there's nothing I can do
The love between us has suddenly gone
There's nothing left between us
Now that you're gone.

You don't cry out for help
I no longer know what you need
I just stand and watch you fall
Further and further away.
