Iīve Gone Away

So now Iīm stuck with a mystery
Why you had to hang that baggage on me
Wish I could say what I needed most,
was your father, son and holy ghost.

I was so lost I shouldīve been blind
Looking for water when it shouldīve been wine
Crossed my heart and closed my eyes
Stopped listening to all those lies...

And you know I loved you & I even had fun
But like that POP song, Iīll follow the sun
Iīve gone away, but Iīve never left home...

Too many jokers & not enough jokes
Too much laughter stuck in the throat
How do you live with a broken heart?
How do you live when things fall apart?

Wish I could say that everythings fine
That life is great & itīs a wonderful time
Wish I could say Itīll all go away
That tomorrow will come in a beautiful way
Wish you were here at the tip of my touch
Wish I could say I didnīt need you that much
Wish I could say it gets better with a kiss
Wish I could say it gets better than this...
