Gone

Don't say you'll be gone
It's here that you belong
Say you'll stay for a while
For I am in denial

When you finally drift away
In a couple of days
I hope you leave something behind
To keep this heart alive

Now I am reaching out
For hope that isn't there, in this despair
I've tried so hard to fool my mind
Into thinking there's still time, yeah there's still time

Why can't I be set free
From what you mean to me?
I need your love and your grace
To never leave this place

I, I can't be reaching out
If your hand isn't there, in this despair
I've learned from every wrong turn I made
They will never happen, cause now you're gone
