Long Gone
He wakes up one day and she's no longer beside him. The turmoil he suffers as months fade into years and he's still left wondering why; she didn't even leave a note. He begins to question everything that was wrong within the relationship, and where she could be now.

The bed was empty when he woke and her train was already gone
Where's her clothes where's her phone I thought she had the day off
The bed was empty when he slept and it never got filled again
Except by shadows of you and the echoes inside his head
Conversations all replayed what the f*ck did I do wrong
Was it how he didn't hold you anymore and you've always bit your tongue
Maybe it's because when he shaved he left hairs on the sink
Or is it how you'd only laugh together when you'd both had a lot to drink
Her smile playing on repeat till it bleeds into his soul
A whiskey in one hand with the hope to make him whole
Was it the plates he left stacked up until mould began to grow
Or was it how when you said you loved him he would always joke 'I know'
The bed was empty when he woke and her train was long gone
Where's the fight where's the signs where's the note so he can move on
The bed was empty when he slept with one ear glued to the door
Because soon you'd turn around when you found out there was no more (no more out there)
Memories forming into one as days creep into weeks
He can finally have his space and control of the TV
When you told him that he'd hurt you he always seemed to shut you out
He never did well with emotions and she never did well with calming down
Are you with your bosses' son the one he never did like
Or in that far away country he always promised he'd book the flight
Why after every petty fight could he always drift off to sleep?
And she'd be tossing and turning till she got swallowed in too deep
The bed was empty when he woke and her train was long long gone
The nights you'd stayed awake you promised he was the one
The bed was empty when he slept when he finally began to cry
Did it kill her to disappear because it sure made part of him die
Things are looking bleak but he knows he has to live
Have you found your soulmate have you popped out a couple of kids?
Was it how when you ordered food he'd always refuse to share
Or was it how when you stopped f**king the silence was to much to bear?
Questions she cant answer and secrets she'll never tell
If you'd told each other from the start maybe things would have gone well
Because your singing in the shower is all that he ever wanted
Maybe in another lifetime you both wouldn't be so haunted
The bed was empty when he woke as it had been for a year or two
When the train comes hurtling through the station it only makes him think of you
The bed was empty when he slept but he never did change the locks
For one day you'd burst in and you'd say 'it's you I forgot'
Because I can't go on...without you
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you
So what do I do?
