Long Dead Gone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It's so easy to forgo, so hard to forget

So hard for to realise that I'm not dead yet

When everything that we wanted is beyond beyond

And all that I hoped for is long dead gone

So how can I sleep in this memory bed

Where I feel like a grave with a tomb for a bedhead

With your name and my name carved deep in the stone

Now faded away cos we're long dead gone

We're long dead gone, long dead gone

Now faded away because we're long dead gone

And love lies bewildered, checking its pulse

To see if it compares to anything else

And two things still beating, but never as one

And one thing lies choking cos it's long dead gone

So here rests in pieces

Whatever it was that we could admit to

Whatever it was that was me and you

So why won't I just let it die and get rid

Of the truth that we both would've rather kept hid

Better to live a lie than pretend that you're not

And live out a love that is long dead gone

It's long dead gone, long dead gone

Don't live out a love which is long dead gone

Never live out a love that is long dead gone

Don't live out a love which is long dead gone
