The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone Exchanging love for an empty glass Strangers touching and strangers laugh When it's gone and the night has passed I only think that I can talk Fingerprints on a dusty walk Remind me of what went before And shadows dance on the bedroom floor Edges life puts on a distant shore But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong Always wanting more But I was wrong, see how the girl is gone Pushing me at the door But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong Always wanting more But I was wrong, see how the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone Memories are still so strong The clock ticks, the girl is gone I used to think even though we were young Somehow we'd just hold on Disappointment's a deadly thing It spread like butter on the bed linen Together then we're living in sin We had our hopes but what did they bring? But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong Always wanting more But I was wrong, see how the girl is gone Pushing me at the door But I was wrong thinking that I'd be strong Always wanting more But I was wrong, see how the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone
