Lyrics Gone Long Gone - American Aquarium

Gone Long Gone

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
