Stay Gone

Folder: 
Moving On

My heart is slowly breaking

From the binding ties of which you haunt

There’s a new life path that I am taking

And I won't trip if you stay gone



You’ll think of me when you pick up the phone

And you dial a number and nobody’s home

You’ll think of me when you go to sleep

And there’s no one beside you in your arms to keep



You’ll be an apparition in my mind

Always there stirring in my thoughts

Awake I can not leave you behind

Inside all of the memories you’ve caught



I will think of you when anger hits

A distraught tempera mentalist

When I see the darkness of the world

Painted on the face of an innocent girl



You made me see another side

Of all men I will search deeper within

Uncovering what they meant to hide

Before my guard falls down again



My heart is slowly breaking

From the binding ties you haunt

Releasing from everything you’ve taken

I can move on, if you stay gone
