Mystery Jets - The Girl Is Gone lyrics

The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone Exchanging love for an empty gla** A stranger's touch and a stranger's laugh But when it's gone and the night has pa**ed I'll want the thing that I can't ask Finger prints on a dusty wall Remind me of what went before As shadows dance on the bedroom floor They're just life boats on a distant shore But I was wrong, thinking that I'd be strong Always wanting more But I was wrong, see how the girl is gone Pushing me out the door But I was wrong, thinking that I'd be strong Always wanting more But I was wrong, see how the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone Memories are still so strong The clock ticks, the girl is gone I used to think even though we were young Somehow we'd just hold on Disappointment's a deadly thing You're spread like bu*ter on the bed linen Together then but living in sin We had high hopes but what did they bring? But I was wrong, thinking that I'd be strong Always wanting more But I was wrong, see how the girl is gone Pushing me out the door But I was wrong, thinking that I'd be strong Always wanting more But I was wrong, see how the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone The girl is gone, the girl is gone
