Always Already Gone Lyrics

Magnetic Fields Always Already Gone

I tried hard to keep you,
I needn't have tried.
It seems you've decided.
When did you decide?
So this is the last time
I cry in the dark.
It seems you were always,
always already gone.

You never were happy,
You 'had to be free'.
You took all the freedom
You needed from me.
Then you and your freedom
Will flicker and yawn.
You're free to be always,
Always already gone.

I couldn't have dreamed you
But I might as well,
You leave me with only
A story to tell.
But at the beginning,
Our story is done
Because you were always,
Always already gone.
Always already gone.
