I'm Already Gone

You begin to turn around again but I'm already gone
You never saw me fall apart, whilst you stood there so strong
You've got the people's sympathy and that's all you seem to need
One day you'll see you weren't the only one left there to bleed

Love takes two, but you're the only love in your own heart
Yet still you shout those tales about how I tore you apart
I hear all of those screaming whispers, hushed into the night
Your serpent tongue is swallowing lies, just to validate your fight

I won't be taken for a fool, but you show that you're uncouth
I have no need to tell those tales, for deep down I know the truth
Your whispers don't carry far at all, on the ears of friends of mine
You spend so long playing deceitful games; you're wasting your own time

For no matter what I'm going through, my friends are always there
And for them I don't have to run around to prove I really care
Actions speak louder than words, and that's something you've yet to learn
I know you want my sympathy, as I watch you crash and burn

Blaming everyone else but you, won't prove that you were right
For creating feeble myths only keeps you further from the light
And if I could I'd hold your hand, just like I used to do
But now I find I don't know your face, when I turn to look at you

Once you were my hero...the one who'd fight to love forever
And for a while I was drunk on your pretence, whilst we held dreams together
I so wish that I could hold your hand, just like I used to do
But now your actions show the truth, and I've seen the real you

I packed my bags and left your lies, for those dreams had turned to dust
But even though I escaped your games, these tears turn me to rust
For I thought this love would last forever, I thought you were the one
How can something that seemed so right, turn out to be so wrong?

Those loving promises that you once made, now haunt my sleeping mind
And every day I still think of you, even though I left you behind
Yet still I continue to walk away, for you fooled me all along
And you begin to turn around again, but I'm already gone
I'm already gone.
