Now You're Gone
Hilltop Hoods Lyrics

Now you're gone life moves on without you,
Without you around, life goes on and things continue to happen.

You always wanted me to write a song about you,
You expressed a desire for me to write a song about you.

Where to begin? I caught her in a fling,
It is difficult to know where to start, but I did find out that she had been involved with someone else.

They've been asking where you've been so I thought I'd fill them in,
People have been curious about your whereabouts, so I decided to inform them.

See there's nothing that I wouldn't put past you,
There is nothing that you are capable of doing that I would be surprised by or not believe.

When she got a lot of men that's the harsh truth,
It is the harsh truth that she has had many men in her life.

You find the truth hard to swallow, gotta ask you?
You seem to have difficulty accepting the truth, so I need to ask if you understand.

Kind regards I've been doing well these past few,
I have been doing well recently, and I hope you are also doing well.

She's a master with plans and a terrible feud,
She is adept at making plans and causing trouble.

Leaving scars on a man if she's ever pursued,
If she pursues a man, she leaves emotional or psychological scars on him.

Even after you're damned and aware of the wound,
Even after you realize the damage she has done to you, the scars remain.

Your beating heart's in her hand like the Temple of Doom',
Your heart is in her control and she can cause you great harm.

She's a beast in disguise of a sweet song siren,
She presents herself as a kind and gentle person, but in reality, she is a monster.

That feasts on admirers so keep on driving,
She thrives on the attention of admirers, so it is best to avoid her.

Unleashed like the virus, Calici we're blinded,
She is like a virus that spreads quickly and we are blinded to her true nature.

And weak so she think she can keep on lying?
She takes advantage of our weaknesses and thinks she can continue to lie to us.

Enough is enough it's just counterproductive,
It is no longer helpful or beneficial to continue with this situation.

When trust is inductive to being so f*cked with,
When trust leads to being treated poorly or taken advantage of.

And love is a high you can buy in a substance,
Love is often treated like a drug that can be bought or sold.

Know what? F*ck this, it was always destructive,
I have had enough and this situation has always been harmful and destructive.

I'ma let you know I've let you go,
I want to make it clear that I have let go of the relationship.

You'll never affect my mode, get dressed and go,
You will no longer have any impact on my life, so you should leave.

You better test the road so step and know,
You should try to move on and find a new path in life.

You're left alone to be another stepping stone it goes
You are now alone and will likely be used as a stepping stone by someone else in the future.

She slept on the couch for about four days or so,
She stayed on the couch for several days before leaving.

Then left like a southpaw, bout four days ago,
She left suddenly and unexpectedly a few days ago.

I'm blessed with a mouth than can outtalk ASIO,
I am lucky to have a skillful and persuasive way with words.

But from this fallout my poor mouth couldn't save me so,
Despite my ability to talk my way out of situations, I could not prevent the fallout from this relationship.

Now I spend my days alone, playing me some Maseo,
I spend my days alone, listening to music to pass the time.

Telephone messages; I doubt she ever plays ‘em though,
I do not believe she listens to the messages that have been left for her on the phone.

CD in the stereo, TV on the radio,
I listen to music and watch TV to fill the silence of my empty home.

I was a lover, but the love it couldn't save me though,
I was in love with her, but my feelings for her could not save me from the consequences of our relationship.

Baby don't play me, don't break me yo save me,
Do not toy with my emotions and hurt me, instead try to help me and save me.

Don't make me go crazy like saying don't taze me bro,
Do not drive me to madness like the incident where someone was repeatedly tasered by police.

Maybe you're right, and it's all for the best,
Perhaps you are correct, and the end of our relationship is for the best.

And maybe you're right, but I'm all you have left,
You might be correct, but I am the only person you have left in your life.

When the best friends head for the S bend,
When your closest friends abandon you or distance themselves from you.

Less than zero, you'll need me like a western hero,
If you hit rock bottom, you will realize that you need me to survive, like a hero in a western movie.

You used to use my chest as a pillow, paro,
You used to rest your head on my chest like a pillow.

Now my heart is just a target for an arrow
However, now you have caused me emotional pain, and my heart is exposed and vulnerable like a target for an arrow.

Every breath you take is filling the,
Every breath that you take fills your lungs.

Lungs that hug the heart that's killing me,
Your lungs surround and protect your heart, which is causing me great emotional pain.

Feelings Suffa foster for her,
I have strong feelings for her, even though our relationship is over.

Lost her, not my lover, Billy Jean,
I have lost her, even though she was never really my lover like in the song Billie Jean.

So pretty please, to a girl so pretty, please,
I am pleading with her, using sweet words like 'pretty please.'

You really need to not make me crawl like a millipede,
Please do not make me feel small and insignificant like a crawling millipede.

Feeling the fool? Maybe you're not fulfilling me,
Am I feeling foolish because you are not fulfilling me emotionally?

But silly me, I'm feeling this Philly's all I really need like
But I must be foolish to feel that this person from Philadelphia is all I need to be happy.
