Gone Long Gone

I've spent my whole life runnin' from the truth I blamed it on the women and I blamed it on the booze When you want what you ain't got, you lose what you do And she'll be gone, long gone I've set fire to bridges just to watch them come undone Fought so many battles and yet a single war I've won Why play the game when you know the outcome? She'll be gone, long gone Gone like the nights when we would lie awake Talkin' 'til the sun goes again And I know one day she won't be comin' back No, she ain't ever coming back I've been known to let my pride get in the way Of sayin' the important things she needed me to say Like tellin' her, "I'm sorry babe, let's try it your way" Now she's gone, long gone Gone like the nights when we would lie awake Talkin' 'til the sun goes again And I know one day she won't be comin' back No, she ain't ever coming back Now I'm left to think about what might've been If I had only listened to her and tried to comprehend Not takin' her for granted time and time again She won't be gone, long gone Gone like the nights we would lie awake Talkin' 'til the sun goes again And I know one day she won't be comin' back No, she ain't ever coming back No, she ain't ever comin' back
