The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone Trading love for an empty glass A strangers touch and a strangers laugh But when it's gone and the night has passed I want the thing that I can't touch Fingerprints on a dusty wall Remind me of what went before As shadows dance on a bedroom floor They're just like what's on a distant shore But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong, Always wanting more But I was wrong see how the girl is gone Pushing me out the door But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong, Always wanting more But I was wrong see how the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The memories are still so strong The clock ticks the girl is gone I used to think even though we were young Some how we'd just hold on Disappointments a deadly thing You spread like butter on the bed linen Together then but living in sin We had our hopes but what did they bring But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong, Always wanting more But I was wrong see how the girl is gone Pushing me out the door But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong, Always wanting more But I was wrong see how the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone
