In the silence of my mind I can see our love was just a line To a grasp of air That's nowhere And while I wait for love's embrace My life is but a race Since you're gone now All my light is left to waste I never learned the rule

Send me a postcard When you get to where you're going Send me a line To everything you've left behind Won't you let me know But life's not what you make it, baby Honey, now that your shackles are gone And you're out there on your own If things get hard

My daddy told me always be strong son Don't you ever cry You find the pretty girls, and then you love them And then you say goodbye I never dreamed that you would leave me But now you're gone I never dreamed that I would miss you Woman won't you come

Are the words I couldn't say And no one else to blame All I can hear in the silence that remains What do I do now that you're gone? No back up plan, no second chance In a book in a box in the closet In a line in a song I once heard In a moment on a front

Said I know that I'll be better when you're gone Couldn't hate you if I tried I'm comin' around to see you, comin' around to leave you What is the point of hoping when it's already broken? It hurts to let you go and it's worse to hold on But I know that

You left without saying Goodbye to me Now that you're gone away All I can think about is All I think about now Is you and me A note by the door

I'm so happy about you, (I'm fed up, so get up and get out) I'm so happy now we're through, (I'm fed up, so get up and get out) I was so afraid, now you're gone away Sent you packing, look who's laughin' now I'm so happy that I feel this way I'm so happy

Well, I guess this is growing up Someone that understands But everybody's gone It's alright to tell me what you think about me I won't try to argue or hold it against you I know that you're leaving, you must have your reasons The season is calling, your

A little bit of resolve is what I need now Pin me down, show me how One more year that you're not here Happened to you, happened to you A little bit of resolve It's gone and passed you by (a little bit of resolve) Something that I felt today, something

I feel so much better Now that you're gone forever I tell myself that I don't miss you at all I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now That you're gone forever And in this world around me I'm glad you disappeared And now you're gone forever
