Lyrics
Long Gone
I don’t know what you expected
Just where did you think I’d be?
Waiting home all alone with my eyes on the phone? Not me
You made your bed go get in it
We’ve got nothing left to say
‘Cause your last wave goodbye said it all like a bad cliche
But I’m ok
‘Cause baby I’m long gone now
Made your choice, wasn’t me that you wanted
Long gone now
And there’s no starting over
You’re always looking for better, so totally unaware
That you can’t recognize
What’s in front of your eyes right there
And I was right there
‘But baby I’m long gone now
Made your choice, wasn’t me that you wanted
Long gone now
And there’s no starting over
You wanted freedom until I moved on
Now you change your mind
But now I’m gone and you’re out of time
Baby I’m long gone now
Made your choice, wasn’t me that you wanted
Long gone now
And there’s no starting over
‘Cause I’m long gone now
Made your choice, wasn’t me that you wanted
Long gone now
And there’s no starting over
I’m long gone now
Made your choice, wasn’t me that you wanted
Long gone now
And there’s no starting over (No starting over)
No, there’s no starting over (No starting over)
No, there’s no starting over
