They said you were gone
Long lips and high cheeks
Longer lipstick and no goodbyes
Your eyes were like tears in the corner
Something I couldn't see
And yet you took me, in the narrow
Told me you'd be there, on hot roads
In the corner, always in the corner
You said it wouldn't hurt but you lied
Like all the times you kissed me
Silver raindrops and a smile that said
You were gone
I learned to love you anyway
Away when you told me you'd hold me
Like all the forgotten things you missed
And just another kiss you said
Ill be gone
And then this song won't matter
None of it will matter like it did
When you kissed me and told me that you're gone
Tried to tell you how much I needed
A silver face like yours
Someone to grace my days and hopes
But nothing really hurts the way you kissed me
For the last time, always in the corner
And now you're gone again forever

They said you were gone
Long lips and high cheeks
Longer lipstick and no goodbyes
Your eyes were like tears in the corner
Something I couldn't see
And yet you took me, in the narrow
Told me you'd be there, on hot roads
In the corner, always in the corner
You said it wouldn't hurt but you lied
Like all the times you kissed me
Silver raindrops and a smile that said
You were gone
I learned to love you anyway
Away when you told me you'd hold me
Like all the forgotten things you missed
And just another kiss you said
Ill be gone
And then this song won't matter
None of it will matter like it did
When you kissed me and told me that you're gone
Tried to tell you how much I needed
A silver face like yours
Someone to grace my days and hopes
But nothing really hurts the way you kissed me
For the last time, always in the corner
And now you're gone again forever
