Gone Away

I try to reason and 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 itYou are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind

You're not gonna stay

But I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby

I lost you, baby, you were goneForgive and forget it that's not what I'll ask you to do

'Cause I want you back, yeah

You know, you know I want you back

And in concluding my mental discussion

I found I lost my prized possessionYou are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind

You're not gonna stay

And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby

I lost you, baby, you were goneYou were mine for only a minute

And if I hurt you I didn't intend itYou are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind

You're not gonna stay

And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby

I lost you, baby and you were goneLie, lies I told you baby

I never meant to sayBut a desperate mind

Does a desperate thing baby

I can't loose you

I do whatever I got to doI never loved like this before

I don't mean to be so silly

Such a little girl sometimes

I really want to be your woman

I just...It gets so heavy baby...

It gets so heavy

And I just want you...

I just want you to think about

Don't let me go
