Lyrics

I try to reason and I tell myself you'll return But you are gone and I know, I know, I know you're gone You were mine for only a minute and if I hurt you I didn't intend it You are gone away, I keep telling my mind You're not gonna stay Yet I believe sometimes that I've lost you, baby I've lost you, baby and you are gone Forgive and forget it, that's not what I'll ask you to do 'Cause I want you back, you know, you know I want you back And in concluding my mental displeasure I found I've lost my prize possession You are gone away, I keep telling my mind You're not gonna stay Yet I believe sometimes that I've lost you, baby I've lost you, baby and you are gone You were mine for only a minute and if I hurt you I didn't intend it You are gone away, I keep telling my mind You're not gonna stay Yet I believe sometimes I've lost you, baby I've lost you, baby and you are gone
