You Were Gone

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
