Lyrics
Long Gone
Verse I
I saw you yesterday hanging out
You were hand in hand with your new love
I grew sick inside at the thought
That for seven years girl you were mine
Pre-Chorus I
I said I needed space, I said I wanted time
This is not what I had in mind
Chorus I
I was so wrong, now you’re long gone
I’m still hanging on to what could have been
I know it’s all my fault
You’re long gone
Verse II
You wanted wedding vows and a band of gold
But I was satisfied with the way it was
I thought I was strong enough to let you go
But without you here I’ve no strength at all
Pre-Chorus II
I said I couldn’t breathe, I said I felt confined
Now I wish you were here tonight
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge
Tell me how to build a life without you
Because everyday it’s harder just to get through
You found a way to move on while I still here on my own
I’m trying to accept the fact that I’ve lost you
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS I
REPEAT CHORUS (2x’s)
