Already Gone
Crossfade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will not leave a letter nothing at all
I'm sure you won't notice that I'm even gone
I won't break this silence we've shared for so long
I will be strong

I will not leave a letter, nothing at all
I'm sure you won't notice that I'm even gone
Why did I stay here, stay for so long
When we're so far gone
I feel so stupid, taking this fall
I should have seen it, known all along
I won't break this silence we've shared for so long
I will be strong

What could you possibly want from me
Can't you see I'm already gone
Everything we thought we'd be
I still don't feel sorry for this loss

I will not waste a moment thinking these thoughts
Forgetting comes easy
I never cared at all
Hurt became hate, now I'm feeling the strain
There's just too much pain
Fell in to pieces, get swept away
Left all our pictures, some to fade
I won't break this silence we've shared for so long
I will be strong

What could you possibly want from me
Can't you see I'm already gone
Everything we thought we'd be
I still don't feel sorry for this loss

You don't have to say anything at all
I won't stop you from walking away
I'll do nothing at all

Sitting here I waste a day




While the memories fade away
You know I expected so much more from you
