Gone For Good

You knocked on our old wooden door

But you said that you couldn't come in

Your eyes looked as dark as a hole in the night

And your smile was wearing so thin

You turned away from the door

And I grabbed your arm in dismay

You looked at me once, a sorrow inside

Before moving further away

And the tears rolling down

I knew you had gone for good

The choice is your own

But we never thought you would

Regret is for now

But you've left us forever

And reasons mean nothing to me

Or you

I'd ask myself 'why?' every day

If I thought that you could reply

Why didn't I see?

Why couldn't you be the happiest man who's alive?

The questions seem empty and cold

Like the church on that warm summer day

Your songs ringing out a message of hope

The last thing you wanted to say

And the tears rolling down

I knew you had gone for good

The choice is your own

But we never thought you would

Regret is for now

But you've left us forever

And reasons mean nothing to me

Or you

And now it's nearly a year

Since all we could see through were tears

Of anger and pain

Emotions in vain

That all could be saved, were you here

And the tears rolling down

I know you have gone for good

The choice is your own

But we never thought you would

Regret is for now

But you've left us forever

And reasons mean nothing to me

Or you

And the tears rolling down

I know you have gone for good

The choice is your own

But we never thought you would

Regret is for now

But you've left us forever

And reasons mean nothing to me

Or you
