The Girl Is Gone

The girl is gone, the girl is gone
Exchanging love for an empty glass, a stranger's touch and a stranger's laugh
But when it's gone and the night has passed, I'll want the thing I can't ask
Finger prints on a dusty wall, remind me of what went before
As shadows dance on the bedroom floor, they're just life boats 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 memories are still strong, the clock ticks, the girl is gone
I used to think even though we were young, somehow we'd just hold on
Disappointment's a deadly thing, you're spread like butter on the bed linen
Together then but lived in sin, we had high 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
