Long Gone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No surprise it's all because of you
I hope you get off me barely getting by
So go ahead and spin it like I'm the one who ruined your life
It's easier if you make me the bad guy
I heard them call you, op room 309
When you cut me open, what did you find?
A broken heart, love, a couple times
As you shift around my insides
While you're up there, my head's all yours for the night
Let's not waste our time
So let me say what I came to say
You think that there's a problem with my brain
You're an expert, aren't you?
At only pointing out what's wrong with me
Make this dramatic, make it a lobotomy
Cleanup needed, op room 309
When you cut me open, what did you find?
A broken heart, love, a couple times
And I've been spending hours under bright lights
As you shift around my insides
While you're up there, my head's all yours
You said I'm always the same
I didn't ask you to change
I only wanted to lie around with you and waste my days
You couldn't save me
I didn't want to be saved
But tell yourself whatever if you think that makes you brave
When you cut me open, what did you find?
I think you broke my heart, love, a couple hundred times
And I will spend these hours under bright lights
As you shift around my insides
While you're up there, make sure I'm yours every night

I overheard them referring to you in operating room 309
When you cut me open, what did you find?
What did you discover when you performed surgery on me?
A broken heart, love, a couple times
You found a heart that had been broken multiple times
And I've been spending hours under bright lights
I have been enduring long periods under intense lighting
As you shift around my insides
While you manipulate and examine the depths of my being
While you're up there, my head's all yours for the night
While you are focused on that task, my thoughts are at your disposal
Let's not waste our time
We should not squander our precious moments
So let me say what I came to say
Allow me to express what I have been meaning to tell you
You think that there's a problem with my brain
You believe that there is an issue with my mentality
You're an expert, aren't you?

You said I'm always the same
You mentioned that I am consistently unchanged
I didn't ask you to change
I did not request for you to alter anything
I only wanted to lie around with you and waste my days
I simply desired to relax with you and pass time idly
You couldn't save me
You were unable to rescue me
I didn't want to be saved
I had no interest in being saved
But tell yourself whatever if you think that makes you brave
But go ahead and delude yourself if it gives you a sense of bravery
I think you broke my heart, love, a couple hundred times
I believe you shattered my heart numerous times
And I will spend these hours under bright lights
And I will continue enduring extended periods of exposure to intense lighting
As you shift around my insides
While you manipulate and explore the depths of my being
While you're up there, make sure I'm yours every night
While you are focused on that task, ensure that I belong to you every night
