Gone

And I can see it in your eyes that you mean it
And I can feel it in your arms that it's true
And though I just heard myself say it
Baby, I'm lying to you

All of these years you've been lonely
And knowing not what you should do
And though you are right, I've been looking too
Baby, I'm not looking for you

And I'm just as damn disappointed as you
Only I just do better to hide it
And the one thing that keeps me from falling for you
Is I'm truly alone and I like it

And as we lie in bed I feel lonely
Though we're young, I feel eighty years old
And your arms around me are keeping me warm but
Baby, I'm still feeling cold

And you must know you are lovely
You're kind and you're beautiful too
And I feel in some way I do love you but
Baby, I'm not in love with you

And it may seem strange that I still stay with you
If it's true you're not really the one
And why don't I just keep on looking for her?
'Cause I found her but now she is gone
'Cause once I found her but now she is gone
