Long Time Gone

When I look around for anything familiar
Even my reflection shows another face
Even my voice singing sounds out of place
Every lie that I believed when I was little
Every thought that I was selfish, I was bad
Now they gather round me, all that I have
I’m a long time gone
The calendar carried along
No one could see me and no one could save me
From my own song
When it all comes home
Living this life all alone
No one to care for me, nothing is fair
It’s a climb up the stairs to a place unknown
Now I pull the shades down, nothing more to see here
Just a lonely girl who thought she had more time
Just don’t leave me here, don’t leave me behind
I’m a long time gone
The calendar carried along
No one could see me and no one could save me
From my own song
When it all comes home
Living this life all alone
No one to care for me, nothing is fair
It’s a climb up the stairs to a place unknown
So tell me if you know
Is this my time to go?
I’ve just begun this drive on the open road
I’m a long time gone
The calendar carried along
No one could see me and no one could save me
From my own song
When it all comes home
Living this life all alone
No one to care for me, nothing is fair
It’s a climb up the stairs to a place unknown
