long gone and over

Lost our minds in the cheering crowd
And the clapping hands when spotlight shined bright
Countless hours and the moments spent
In the practice room every midnight

Acting dumb, getting drunk
To get through difficult times
But I got tired of hearing "no" when I did things fine
And saying "never mind"

Found myself back in this small town
Without you, my old friends, who I treated right
Things were dealt when you stole the crown
From the palm of my hand, yes, I did think twice

After one thousand eight hundred
And 25 days and nights
Of thinking that I reached the right shore
Then I realized

You put me in your game that you changed the rules of everyday
Like a pawn, you could easily take away
In the good name of rising to this fame

And you took all the credit for all the tables turned, money earned
Left me right there with our pictures burned, lesson learned
Here I swear, I will never be the same
But after all, I gotta say

The peace we thought would last forever
The land we fought so hard to conquer
The kingdom that we built together
I'll remember

You turned my orchard into desert
And burned my dahlias to ashes
The words you should have said won't comfort
'Cause everything is long gone and over

Remember you said we're broken goods
No one would wanna purchase without your vision
Feeling like following your footsteps, without any purpose
But I had to listen

They're making fun, said I won't go far
'Cause I was too young, I still dared to run
It was one of the bravest things
I have ever done

You put me in your game that you changed the rules of everyday
Like a pawn you could easily take away
In the good name of rising to this fame
(Rising to this fame)

Now I can take the credit for all the tables turned, money earned
And forget about all the pictures burned, look forward
I say it loud, I will never be the same
(Never be the same)
But after all, I gotta say

The peace we thought would last forever
The land we fought so hard to conquer
The kingdom that we built together
I'll remember

You turned my orchard into desert
And burned my dahlias to ashes
The words you should have said won't comfort
'Cause everything is long gone and over

Winning faces glowed with pride
With those smiles beaming like sunshine
When we brought the autumn leaves back to life
Life, oh, oh (everything is long gone and over)

Steep hills, rugged cliffs we climbed
And all those good views we passed by
Gave me strong wings that let me fly
Fly high (everything is long gone and over)

Everything is long gone and over
