Gone

Well she's running from the life she knows Running like a train jumps off the tracks, off the tracks And it doesn't matter where she goes As long as she ain't slipping through the cracks, no more And she'll press that bottle to her lips But it's not strong enough to numb the pain, oh no And she'll take a breath between each sip The lightening hits and tears they fall like rain, oh oh She says "I'm gone Gone like goodbye, gone like last night Gone Gone like this train, gone like the years I've wasted" Now she's staring out the window Watching dreams of what could be pass her by, pass her by It seems she's close enough to touch it But why can't she grab ahold of it, why oh why, why why The wheels are turning way too fast She blows right past the stop she's meant to make And the boilers boiling over now And she can't get her hands upon the break, on the break She says "I'm gone Gone like goodbye, gone like last night Gone Gone like this train, gone like the years I've wasted" Mmm, mmm She says "I can see the light at the end of the tunnel" She says "I have finally reached the bottom of the bottle" And "I'm gone"
