lyrics

ALREADY GONE
Mike Peters ©2016

And one more night I’ll try so hard to keep that day away
And one more day you’ll just pretend that you want to stay
And one more morning I’ll wake up and feel a lesser man
And we’ll struggle on and smile, and we’ll be the best we can

We’ll sit across the table, and you’ll talk about your day
A nervous laugh, a smile, as you gently pull away
And you are being oh so nice, and trying hard to care
And I’ll pretend you’ll stay with me, you’ll pretend that you’re still here

CHORUS
I know why you don’t leave me babe,
Cos you’re already gone.

The distant look that’s in your eyes, when you think that I don’t see
I don’t know where you go to, but it doesn’t include me
Today when we made love, you pulled your mask across your face
The girl I love has gone, and there’s no one in her place

CHORUS
[Woman]
Please believe me, I once loved you, but I’m already gone
This will hurt you, please forgive me, but I’m already gone

The fear inside tears out my heart, there’s not one damn thing I can do
As we slowly fade away, I know I’m losing you
I can’t make you love me, and I can’t hold onto you
And I know the day is coming, but I won’t stop loving you

CHORUS
[Woman]
This will hurt you, please forgive me, but I’m already gone
Oh my baby, I’m so sorry, but I’m already gone

BRIDGE
I can make this right, I can fix this babe I can
I can make us good, I will be your man again

[Woman]
Please believe me, I’m so sorry, but I’m already gone

CODA
I won’t share your future, but I still have our past
And you can’t take it with you
How we were, you and I
