The Girl Is Gone

The girl is gone the girl is gone

The girl is gone the girl is gone

Trading love for an empty glass

A strangers touch and a strangers laugh

But when it's gone and the night has passed

I want the thing that I can't touch

Fingerprints on a dusty wall

Remind me of what went before

As shadows dance on a bedroom floor

They're just like what's on a distant shore

But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong

Always wanting more

But I was wrong see how the girl is gone

Pushing me out the door

But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong

Always wanting more

But I was wrong see how the girl is gone

The girl is gone the girl is gone

The girl is gone the girl is gone

The memories are still so strong

The clock ticks the girl is gone

I used to think even though we were young

Some how we'd just hold on

Disappointments a deadly thing

You spread like butter on the bed linen

Together then but living in sin

We had our hopes but what did they bring

But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong

Always wanting more

But I was wrong see how the girl is gone

Pushing me out the door

But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong

Always wanting more

But I was wrong see how the girl is gone

The girl is gone the girl is gone

The girl is gone the girl is gone

The girl is gone the girl is gone

The girl is gone the girl is gone
