Gone

There's a picture of you in my pocket wherever I go
Like a treasure that I'm ashamed of
possessing, a guilty pleasure, obsessing
A fixation, addiction, a pain that I can't get out of my head
Because for some twisted reason,
I liked pretending that someday you'd be my someone again

You're the list of things I can't talk about
The memories I can't think about
But you're everything that I write about, and every song is shit
Because it's worthless for me to want to change your mind
The truth is that I don't want to
I just want you to know that I'm gone

Stars fall from the sky on the window
above and I know that it's you saying hello
With your tantalizing ways, 'cause who else
But you could be so calm when I'm torn to pieces at your feet
You're oblivious to the damage I've
sustained all in vain, just for the sake of our name
And just like the rain, you've packed up and gone
'Cause happiness doesn't stick around for too long

You're the list of things I can't talk about
The memories I can't think about
But you're everything that I write about, and every song is shit
Because it's worthless for me to want to change your mind
The truth is that I don't want to
I just want you to know that I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone

I've been drinkin' and I've been smoking,
and the taste burns the back of my throat
Like the pain burns the back of my mind
and your face burns the back of my eyes
But if the rain and the shots and the pain
and the smokes doesn't wash away your memory
Then I don't know what will
But for now, I'll keep trying to fill the hole your love left behind

You're the list of things I can't talk about
The memories I can't think about
But you're everything that I write about, and every song is shit
Because it's worthless for me to want to change your mind
The truth is that I don't want to
I just want you to know that I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone

I just love seeing all our friends and pointing
like a gallery, saying "Look at them, they made it"
So why didn't we?
'Cause I'm only just now realizing what a shame
it is, how all I am is loyalty that people abuse
But I guess that's the way it has to be.
Yeah, I guess that's the way it has to be
And there's nothing on this earth that can undo your hurt
But I hope to God there's someone who won't do the same

You're the list of things I can't talk about
The memories I can't think about
But you're everything that I write about, and every song is shit
Because it's worthless for me to want to change your mind
The truth is that I don't want to
I just want you to know that I'm
the list of things you won't talk about
The memories you won't think about
But you're everything that I write about, and every song is shit
Because it's worthless for me to want to change your mind
The truth is that I don't want to
I just want you to know that I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone
'Cause I'm gone
'Cause I'm
