Already Gone

Written by：Jim Cuddy/Greg Keelor

Oh Monday morning waking up still too numb to speak

Another night just staring at the wall

Last night's conversation knocked me off my feet

Guess today I'll fall

I wish that we could find the words to look the other way

Be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say

And maybe then we'd get somewhere we'd never been before

But what's the use in fighting when you know you've lost the war

Walk the streets in New Orleans shirt soaked to my skin

Through the mess of yesterday's parade

Thousand times a day I think of calling you again

Come to my senses instead

And every time we walk away we lose a little time

Pretending to each other now that everything is fine

I know whatever lies I use to get myself to sleep

I wake up to the promises I know we couldn't keep

Say you don't see what's wrong

Every night lasting oh so long

And I know I do you're already gone

I wonder should I get up would but what's the point

Oh once something's gone it's gone for good

Maybe I could look away back to where we used to be

One more time I wish I could

Oh never mind the reasons that tore us all apart

We've both done things I know we can't defend

What's the use in tracing it all back to the start

There's something missing in the end

I wish that we could find the words to look the other way

Be careful of the things we do and everything we say

And maybe then we'd get somewhere we'd never been before

But what's the use in fighting when you know you've lost the war

Say you don't see what's wrong

Every night lasting oh so long

And I know I do you're already gone

Oh I know I do you're already gone
