There’s no need for you to try and reconcile now
The wings you clipped no longer leave me on the ground
You’ve kept me silent so long, I’ve got to speak out loud
‘Cause I’ve got someplace to go, and I don’t care if you’re not ‘round
I’ll pack my bags and I’ll just head on out of town
And pray the dogs don’t catch my scent, pray I’m not found
I’ll find some eyes who’ve not seen the sins I left behind
But still seek solitude just so I can call it mine
Ooh, I’m already gone
Ooh, I’m already gone
And I’ll still see your smile on a server in a bar
Some evil spirit sent to remind me we’re so far
She wears your makeup like she’s got something to hide
She doesn’t know it’s no use, I’ve always seen inside
Ooh, I’m already gone
Ooh, I’m already gone
She says to share these secrets so she can help me stay
But these parasites will poison each point I try to make
There’s nothing that I’ve not thought that some savior could just say
As I await a seamless means to an escape
Ooh, I’m already gone
Ooh, I’m already gone
“If love suffers long,” she says, “I see you must have loved.”
Yeah, I’ve suffered all my life, but can it ever be enough?
So I’ll let her go, and I’ll do as I have always done
And through a glass darkly hate what I’ve become
