Lately you've been acting in a role that's unbecoming

Of the girl who taught me there was so much in this world worth living

The part that you've been playing has me dazed and missing you

But now you're gone gone gone

The promise never harvested in fallow fields shall lie

In a shallow grave of stubble field and half remembered lies

A burning heart deceived me and you really put me on

But now you're gone gone gone

The memories are bittersweet

The taste you leave is still stuck in my mouth

I want to touch you want to breathe you

Say f**k you I don't need you get out right now

We were strangers when we met

And we were strangers when you left

Into a shadow world of painted girls and marionettes

Used to pride myself on living a life without any regrets

But now that's gone gone gone

How can such sweet kisses come from such a poison tongue

How can a bed of roses hurt so much to lie upon

It was the thorn beneath the flower that I wasn't counting on

And now you're gone gone gone

The memories are bittersweet

The taste you leave is still stuck in my mouth

I want to touch you want to breathe you

Say f**k you I don't need you get out right now

The city's not the same

But all the streets they know your name

They ask me all about you but my answers pull up lame

I'm staggering in last night's clothes and it's starting to rain

And you are gone gone gone

If parted by a river that was running deep and wide

I'd build a boat to get to you or else I'd drink it dry

Could fill it back up right now as the tears fall from my eyes

And you are gone gone gone

The memories are bittersweet

The taste you leave is still stuck in my mouth

I want to touch you want to breathe you

Say f**k you I don't need you get out right now

Babe if we should meet again way on down the road

Do me this one favor and pretend we never knowed

I'll say that you remind me of a girl I knew so long ago

But now she's gone gone gone
