SHE'S GONE


The candle burned out yesterday
I guess I should have seen
That it was heading this way

It seems after all I passed the test
Found my way out of love and
Cleaned up all this mess

She's still around
She's gone
No going back now
She's gone

She never felt the same
I was kidding myself, she
Never loved me anyway

I'd probably still give my life for her
It's different now, I'm not as
Naive as I was before

She pulled my heart away
I couldn't see where I was, or how
Long I would watch the flame

I found she wasn't in my head
Not for days now
No need to pretend

Don't make a sound
She's gone
Slow my life down
She's gone

Not coming back
Full throttle, no bottle
Two pronged attack
Now I've gone through the middle

Not my choice, no question asked of me
She's gone now, no longer haunting me
Please
Try to understand
She's gone
Stop lying to myself now
She's gone
