There was a time long ago
I knew I'd never leave
Then you turned your back on me
And forced me to turn mine too

I'm gone now, I'm gone
That's it, I'm done, I've had enough of you

I spent years livin' by your rules and opinions of me
I fit in and made no waves and nowhere's where it got me
Life's too short to waste time, feelin' cold and sad and lonely
Time's tickin' fast away, but with you here it crawls on slowly

I'm gone now, I'm gone
I see the way and I don't see you
I'm gone now, I'm gone
You are the past, get out of my way

So someday I hope you feel the pain
Pain you gave those of us, who once cared for you
Maybe there's still time for you to right your wrongs
Before you grow old, angry and alone, for your sake I hope so

Life's too short to waste time, feelin' cold and sad and lonely
Time's ticking fast away, but with you here it crawls on slowly

I'm gone now, I'm gone
That's it, I'm done, I've had enough of you
I'm gone now, I'm gone
I see the way and I don't see you
I'm gone now, I'm gone
You are the past, get out of my way
I'm gone now, I'm gone
I see the way and I don't see you
I'm gone now, I'm gone
You are the past, get out of my way
I'm gone now, I'm gone
I'm gone
