gone

i wonder where she is tonight, is she alone or did she find, what she needed from me, i guess i got what i deserve, how could i do on hurtin' her that way, and think she'd stay, i found it sittin' on the stove, "it's over" written on a post-it note, and that was all she wrote, she's gone like the mind of a man insane, gone like the snow when it turns to rain, and runs down the road and down the drain, so long, long gone like the money when you've paid the rent, gone like the time that i should've spent at home, with her, too bad, one word, gone, then out of nowhere she showed up, for a minute i didn't know what to say, i was blown away, this time i'm gonna do things right, gonna show her every night i care, this time, i swear, as i reach out to touch her face, that's when the whole thing starts to fade, then i hear the sound of my alarm clock, and it hits me like a mack truck doin' ninety, down a one way dead end road bound straight for hell, long, long gone like the money when you've paid the rent, gone like the time that i should've spend at home, with her, too bad, one word, gone, gone
