Long Gone
Millie Manders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take just to scrape just to make all the money for him
Hate what you take loose your faith tried to keep it but it's long gone
Crying if he sees you'll be begging on your knees
Questioning it in your head is it your fault like he said
Now you're tuning on your heel are you stronger than you feel
Could you be long gone?
Shame did he make you bleed and will you ever see
You should be long gone
Blind will you see the lies and all your sacrifice
You should be long gone
Numb to the truth you despise and the pain
Believing what you hear you're becoming what you fear you feel ashamed
Got no fight scared of flight a loosing game
You could be long gone
Shame did he make you bleed and will you ever see
You should be long gone
Blind will you see the lies and all your sacrifice
You should be long gone
Begging on your knees you should be long gone
Crying in your sleep you should be long gone
The pain he makes you feel you should be long gone
Long gone
Shame did he make you bleed and will you ever see
You should be long gone
Blind will you see the lies and all your sacrifice
You should be long gone
