Lyrics

Lately you�ve been acting in a role that�s unbecoming
Of the girl who taught me there was so much in this world worth living.
The part that you�ve been playing has me dazed and missing you.
But now you�re gone, gone, gone.

The promise never harvested in fallow fields shall lie.
In a shallow grave of stubble field and half-remembered lies.
A burning heart deceived me and you really put me on,
But now you�re gone, gone, gone.

The memories are bittersweet;
The taste you leave is still stuck in my mouth.
I want to touch you, want to breathe you,
Say, "Fuck you I don�t need you - get out...right now."

We were strangers when we met
And we were strangers when you left
Into a shadow world of painted girls and marionettes.
Used to pride myself on living a life without any regrets,
But now that�s gone, gone, gone.

How can such sweet kisses come from such a poison tongue?
How can a bed of roses hurt so much to lie upon?
It was the thorn beneath the flower that I wasn�t counting on.
And now you�re gone, gone, gone.

The memories are bittersweet;
The taste you leave is still stuck in my mouth.
I want to touch you, want to breathe you,
Say, "Fuck you I don�t need you - get out...right now."

The city�s not the same,
But all the streets they know your name.
They ask me all about you, but my answers pull up lame.
I�m staggering in last night�s clothes and it�s starting to rain.
And you are gone, gone, gone.

If parted by a river that was running deep and wide,
I�d build a boat to get to you or else I�d drink it dry.
Could fill it back up right now as the tears fall from my eyes.
And you are gone, gone, gone.

The memories are bittersweet;
The taste you leave is still stuck in my mouth.
I want to touch you, want to breathe you,
Say, "Fuck you I don�t need you - get out...right now."

Babe if we should meet again way on down the road.
Do me this one favor and pretend we never knowed.
I�ll say that you remind me of a girl I knew so long ago,
But now she�s gone, gone, gone
But now she�s gone, gone, gone
