Gone

Gone, like a breeze blowing by
Gone, didn’t get to say goodbye
I got half a dozen questions
And not a single reason why
I could say that I’m okay
Oh but that would be a lie.
Gone, she just up and ran away
Gone, she had nothing left to say
Though I loved her all I could
Still I could not make her stay
Cause when her mind was made up
Nothing could stand in her way
She’s gone
Gone for good
She had a sadness in her heart
That I never understood
She’s gone
Gone for good
But if I’m honest with myself
I always knew one day she would
Gone, like the stars in the city sky
Gone, just like the sparkle in her eye
How I tried to lift that weight
That she held so deep inside
It was a secret kind of pain
That her smile could not disguise
She’s gone
Gone for good
She had a sadness in her heart
That I never understood
She’s gone
Gone for good
But if I’m honest with myself
I always knew one day she would.
