Where Have You Been
The Gym All-Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I swallowed every lie you told
I was there right beside you
Every single time you'd need
But now I'm learning something new
I never thought this could be you
So tell me
Why should I stay
Never asked a reason to
You never cared
And now I think that it's my turn
To turn my back on you
'Cause I don't listen to your petty excuses
Because I
No longer care
Where have you gone?
Where are you now?
I can't make you after all that's said and done
Where have you gone?
Where are you now?
I hope some day you'll find yourself again
I still can't believe
How I became such a fool
Like a snake in the garden
Never thought that it was you
So how you think that you deserve
Anything but pain and suffering
But I still
Wish you the best
Where have you gone?
Where are you now?
I can't make you after all that's said and done
Where have you gone?
Where are you now?
I hope some day you'll find yourself again
Where have you gone?
Where are you now?
I can't make you after all that's said and done
Where have you gone?
Where are you now?
I hope some day you'll find yourself again
