"Gone" lyrics

"Gone"

When I waited for you, there was no show
Made myself believe the untrue
How could I not know?
I bet it seemed easier just to lie
But I found you out
This is my last goodbye
I heard enough fairy tales back in my youth
So just stop biting your nails and take the painful truth
You just look ridiculous in disguise
Yes, I found you out
This is my last goodbye

'Cause you used to be my life and soul
Keeping everything in tune
What the heck, man?
Last time I checked, man, we had it all
It was just me and you
So, what happened to you?
Thought I knew you, no more chances
I'm gone, gone, gone

Love is not blind
It's just deaf and it is dumb
So, how could I fool myself thinking you were the one?
How sad, how undignified
Now I found you out
This is my last goodbye

'Cause you used to be my life and soul
Keeping everything in tune
What the heck, man?
Last time I checked, man, we had it all
It was just me and you
So, what happened to you?
Thought I knew you, no more chances
I'm gone, gone, gone

Don't wait for me, I'll be gone
'Cause when I waited for you, there was no show
Made myself believe the untrue
How could I not know?

'Cause you used to be my life and soul
Keeping everything in tune
What the heck, man?
Last time I checked, man, we had it all
It was just me and you
So, what happened to you?
Thought I knew you, no more chances
I'm gone, gone, gone

'Cause you used to be my life and soul
Keeping everything in tune
What the heck, man?
Last time I checked, man, we had it all
It was just me and you
So, what happened to you?
Thought I knew you, no more chances
I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone

Oh (Well I waited and waited for the last time)
