Always Already Gone

I tried hard to keep you, I needn't have tried

It seems you'd decided, when did you decide?

So this is the last time I cry in the dawn

It seems you were always, always already goneYou never were happy, you had to be free

You took all the freedom you needed from me

Then you and your freedom flew thither and yon

You're free to be always, always already goneI 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
