You Were Gone

Mm, can't you tell by my face There are things I try to erase? Memory to nothing What for the money's worth I pay? I woke up and you sat me down Said, "The future's over now" And memories are nothing And there's no light left to see A tree carvin' of our names left high and alone Nothin' ever seems to stay that way, not for too long Where were you? Oh, when I needed you, you were gone When I needed you, you were gone Mm, not a trace of that break I took a topple from the day And gathered in a ball, couldn't even see But the hand that pulled me through The center of the night was you That's why I'm floating, why I reach towards the moon A tree carvin' of our names left high and alone Nothin' ever seems to stay that way, not for too long Where were you? Oh, when I needed you, you were gone When I needed you, you were gone Ooh When I needed you, you were gone Ooh When I needed you, you were gone, mm Ooh How about we turn it off? Just flip the switch and walk away Every story has an ending And it's not our job to stay Now, how about we turn it off? Just forget it, like it's gone Oh, forget about the way you turn me on Yeah, when I needed you, you were gone (When I needed you, when I needed you) When I needed you, you were gone You were gone, you were gone
