The Girl Is Gone Lyrics

Mystery Jets The Girl Is Gone

The girl is gone, the girl is gone

Exchanging love for an empty glass, a stranger's touch,
and a stranger's laugh
But when it's gone and the night has passed, I'll want
the thing that I can't ask
Finger prints on a dusty wall, remind me of what went
before
As shadows dance on the bedroom floor, they're just
lifeboats on a distant shore

But I was wrong, thinking that I'd be strong
Always wanting more
But I was wrong
See how the girl is gone
Pushing me out the door
But I was wrong, thinking that I'd be strong
Always wanting more
But I was wrong
See how the girl is gone
The girl is gone, the girl is gone

The memories are still so strong, the clock ticks, the
girl is gone
I used to think even though we were young, somehow we'd
just hold on
Disapointment's a deadly thing, your spread like butter
on the bed linen
Together then but living in sin, we had high hopes but
what did they bring

But I was wrong, thinking that I'd be strong
Always wanting more
But I was wrong
See how the girl is gone
Pushing me out the door
But I was wrong, thinking that I'd be strong
Always wanting more
But I was wrong
See how the girl is gone
The girl is gone, the girl is gone

The girl is gone, the girl is gone
