Mm, can't you tell by my face
There are things I try to erase?
Memories of nothin'
But for the money's worth I paid
I woke up and you sat me down
Said, "The future is over now"
And memories are nothin'
And there's no life left to see
A tree carvin' of our names left high and alone
Nothin' ever seems to stay that way, not for too long
Where were you? Oh, when I needed you, you were gone
When I needed you, you were gone
♪
Mm, not a trace of that wreck
I took a topple from the day
And gathered in a ball beneath the sea
But the hand that pulled me through
The center of the night was you
Why I floated, why I reached towards the moon
A tree carvin' of our names left high and alone
Nothin' ever seems to stay that way, not for too long
Where were you? Oh, when I needed you, you were gone
When I needed you, you were gone
(Ooh) when I needed you, you were gone
(Ooh) when I needed you, you were gone, mm
(Ooh)
How about I turn it off?
Just flip the switch and walk away
Every story has an ending
And it's not our job to stay
Now, how about we turn it off?
Just forget it like it's gone
We'll forget about the way you turn me on
Yeah, when I needed you, you were gone
(When I needed you, when I needed you)
When I needed you, you were gone
You were gone, you were gone
