lyrics
Verse 1:
Firm and friendly, never familiar, enough but not enough to do nothing
Feeling welcome but, not welcome is my stay, the things on the street aren't cheap anyway
If I had a dollar for every time you said, you would be leaving I'd be a rich man
Now that it's finally true, turns out I had no clue. If I had the answers...
I would say them, but all I have, at the moment are comments to share like...
Chorus:
When I hear those 3 words, it makes me lower then before,
now that you're gone, gone gone, long gone.
But if I get the chance I'll take it to not be by myself
now that you're gone, gone gone, long gone.
Verse 2:
It's better to have lost, then not to lose at all, well on the fence is where I'll be sitting
Bad luck there never is an easy solution like tapping my heels or simply wishing
“What ifs”, “how coulds”, “whys” and “if onlys”
It feels like it's been broken but I'm still in one piece,
moving on not denying the fact that...
