The girl I love is gone
Jay-Jay Johanson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The girl I love is gone
And I will never find a new
But if one pass me by
I'll still be wondering why
I could not be the one for you

The girl I love is gone
And solitary fills my home
It grieves me so to see
You walking out on me
And leave me standing all alone

Well, it might be foolish of me
There will be other girls that I will meet
But still I'm neither young you see
But that's the guarantee

The girl I love is gone
And things will never be the same
The emptiness inside grows stronger every night
And where are you to ease my pain
The girl I love is gone





For good, for good, for good

Line by Line Meaning

The girl I love is gone
The person I deeply cared for has left my life


And I will never find a new
I'm convinced that I won't ever find anyone else to fill the void


But if one pass me by
If I happen to meet someone else unexpectedly


I'll still be wondering why
I'll still be questioning why things didn't work out with the one I loved


I could not be the one for you
I contemplate my shortcomings that prevented me from being the one for you


And solitary fills my home
My home is now filled with emptiness and loneliness


It grieves me so to see
It hurts me deeply to witness you walking away from me


You walking out on me
You leaving and abandoning our relationship


And leave me standing all alone
Leaving me feeling isolated and unsupported


Well, it might be foolish of me
It's possible that I'm being irrational


There will be other girls that I will meet
I anticipate meeting other women in the future


But still I'm neither young you see
I acknowledge that I'm getting older


But that's the guarantee
That's an inevitability that comes with aging


And things will never be the same
My life will never be the same without you


The emptiness inside grows stronger every night
My internal pain and loneliness intensifies with each passing night


And where are you to ease my pain
I long for your presence to ease my emotional pain


For good, for good, for good
You're gone for good and there's no coming back
