Gone For Good

Songtekst

[Verse 1] You left your key in the dish By the door with the cracked blue paint Half your coat on the chair Like you meant to stay, then changed I kept your cup in the sink For a week, then I let it go Now the house says your name In the click of the empty hall [Pre-Chorus] And I watched the mailbox fade No more knock, no more goodnight You were a match in rain Gone before the fire could fight [Chorus] Gone for good, gone for good You ain't coming back like I hoped you would Gone for good, gone for good I keep the light on, but I know I should Let it fall, let it be You were a door that won't open for me Gone for good, gone for good You left, and you never looked back for good [Verse 2] I found your scarf in a drawer Still smelled like the last cold day I held it up to my face Then I put the thing away The plant on the sill went dry I forgot to feed it for weeks Funny how love can leave Even the small things weak [Pre-Chorus] And the clock keeps moving on Like it never knew your name I was waiting on a train That never came the same [Chorus] Gone for good, gone for good You ain't coming back like I hoped you would Gone for good, gone for good I keep the light on, but I know I should Let it fall, let it be You were a door that won't open for me Gone for good, gone for good You left, and you never looked back for good [Bridge] I don't hate you I just let you go Some goodbyes Are a whole dead road No more signs No more calls Just your shadow Leaving off the wall [Final Chorus] Gone for good, gone for good You ain't coming back like I hoped you would Gone for good, gone for good I kissed the hurt and let it do what it should Let it fall, let it be You were a door that won't open for me Gone for good, gone for good You left, and you never looked back for good
