Gone
The Burial of You and Me Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say it's over with, but I don't forgive you
No, not again 'cause I don't miss you
I know you want to mess it up right now
We both know we won't figure it out
I don't want to wait
I don't want to say it
Tell you anyway
I don't want to fake it
I don't want to wait
I don't want to wait no more
Why don't you wait when I'm gone
I've been out and on the run
Wait when I'm gone
It's too late, so don't send me your apology
I won't wait for you to realize what you done to me
And honestly, I've been fine
'Cause you don't ever cross my mind
You can't take back everything that you ever said
And you won't find someone that loved you like I did
And now that we're done
I really hope you had fun
I hope you know it doesn't matter
Why don't you wait when I'm gone
I've been out and on the run
You never stay, so why don't you just walk away
Just walk away
'Cause you never stay, so why don't you just walk away
Just walk away
'Cause you never stay, so just walk
Walk away




You never stay, so just walk
Walk Away
