I LEFT

Yes, I’m gone

‘Cause I’ve heard life could be better

Nothing seems to matter

To you now

Yes, I left

‘Cause I felt no longer needed,

Somehow slighted and mistreated

From your side

            But the lifestring’s getting shorter

            The future makes me wonder

            Future of the colder

            Lonely days

            And the world is getting smaller

            For many miles I’ve wandered

            Many months I’m older

            Since that day.

Yes, I’m gone

‘Cause I saw we couldn’t make it

We don’t have to fake it,

The good times

Yes, I left

And I made the right decision

Or is it only illusion

I’m not sure

            But the lifestring’s getting shorter

            The future makes me wonder

            Future of the colder

            Lonely days

            And the world is getting smaller

            For many miles I’ve wandered

            Many years I’m older

            Since that day

Yes, I’m gone

‘Cause I’ve heard life could be better

Nothing seems to matter

To you now.
