i ve spent my whole life runnin from the truth 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 we would lie awake talkin to the sun supposed to be and i know one day she won t be comin back naw 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 we would lie awake talkin to the sun supposed to be 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 have been if i d have 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 to the sun supposed to be i know one day she won t be comin back no she ain t ever coming back no she aint ever comin back
