Long Gone

So your heart's falling apart
Well babe so is your mind.
And I would try and pick them up
And put them back inside
Through your ears and through your eyes
If I could only find the time
I can't change what you decide
But that can't stop me from trying.

So I'm gonna have to say:
I told you so in the bar room glow that night!
And I told you that so don't feel bad!
It's alright!

See hope's always in sight
Can you see him through those trees?
And if he's lying through his teeth
Would you remind him to breathe?
And if he asks where he should sleep
Would you remind him he could always leave
And remind yourself that you're no thief
And you never meant to be.

But a reminder you're a ghost of a friend
That's whispering in your ear!
I don't know where she's been.
All I know is she appeared!
But if she asks where I am tell her
I'm long gone
I'm long gone
I'm long gone

You call that a heartbreaking song?
She called it another reason to move on.
She called "I haven't known you that long."
You should call it "Please string me along."
You should call it "You're right even if you're wrong."
Just call it "I don't know what I want."

And then call on me cause' you know I'm always here!
And I'll tell you why each shade is set in
And I don't know where she's been
All I know is that she appeared!
And she's a ghost of a friend
Like a ghost she'll disappear!
But if she asks where my brother is tell her
He's long gone
Long gone
