gone for good

arlo mckinley

the cracks out in the sidewalk

hold the memories i keep

your name is on my finger

where a wedding band could be

and these white lines

they keep me moving

until i'm forced to get some sleep

i pray to god that i wake up with you lying next to me

i know i'm gonna wake up in a puddle of my tears

forced to realize you're gone for good

i'm sorry that i stole from you so many of those years

i swear

i'd give them back

girl

if i could

i've been hidin' out in these bar rooms

where no one knows my name

i find myself a corner and i drink away my shame

with the want so bad to call you

though i know it's a mistake

i hope that i am on your mind if you're lying there awake

i know i'm gonna wake up in a puddle of my tears

forced to realize you're gone for good

i'm sorry that i stole from you so many of those years

i swear i'd give them back

girl

if i could

i'm forced to realize you're gone for good
