Long Gone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's so like you just to show up at my door
And act like nothing's happened
You think I'll sweep my heart up off the floor
And give it to you like so many times before
You're talking to a stranger, I'm not that girl anymore
[Chorus]
That girl is long gone
Boy, you missed the boat, it just sailed away
Long gone
She's not drowning in her yesterdays
Bet you never thought I'd be that strong
Well, this girl is long gone
[Verse 2]
Don't waste your breath with "Baby, baby, please"
'Cause I am so not listening
Don't bother getting down upon your knees and try to beg me
I'm tired of how you twist the truth
You're not talking to the same girl
Who used to forgive you
[Chorus]
That girl is long gone
Boy, you missed the boat, it just sailed away
Long gone
She's not drowning in her yesterdays
Bet you never thought I'd be that strong
Well, this girl is
It's so like you just to show up at my door
And act like nothing's happened
You think I'll sweep my heart up off the floor
And give it to you like so many times before
You're talking to a stranger, I'm not that girl anymore
[Chorus]
That girl is long gone
Boy, you missed the boat, it just sailed away
Long gone
She's not drowning in her yesterdays
Bet you never thought I'd be that strong
Well, this girl is long gone
[Verse 2]
Don't waste your breath with "Baby, baby, please"
'Cause I am so not listening
Don't bother getting down upon your knees and try to beg me
I'm tired of how you twist the truth
You're not talking to the same girl
Who used to forgive you
[Chorus]
That girl is long gone
Boy, you missed the boat, it just sailed away
Long gone
She's not drowning in her yesterdays
Bet you never thought I'd be that strong
Well, this girl is
[Bridge]
Gone like the wind under Superman's cape
Like a thief in the night, I made the great escape
I'm not the kind of girl that keeps making the same mistakes
[Chorus]
That girl is long gone
Boy, you missed the boat, it just sailed away
Long gone
I'm not drowning in my yesterdays
Bet you never thought I'd be that strong (Bet you didn't)
Yeah, well, baby, I proved you wrong
This girl is long gone, long gone
This girl is long gone, long gone
This girl is long gone
This girl is gone
Gone like the wind under Superman's cape
Like a thief in the night, I made the great escape
I'm not the kind of girl that keeps making the same mistakes
[Chorus]
That girl is long gone
Boy, you missed the boat, it just sailed away
Long gone
I'm not drowning in my yesterdays
Bet you never thought I'd be that strong (Bet you didn't)
Yeah, well, baby, I proved you wrong
This girl is long gone, long gone
This girl is long gone, long gone
This girl is long gone
This girl is gone
