Lyrics
Almost Gone
She?s staring at the scenery
she?s got some time to waste
she got pumped up so full of junk
And woke up in this place
like an angel in a snow white gown
who somehow fell from grace
she won?t be getting up again
it?s written on her face
Chorus:
She?s almost gone
it?s a shame you came this far
she?s almost gone
she?s gonna blink out like a star
she knows that she had promised
to love you for so long
but she?s looked inside taken stock
and found she?s not that strong
and if there?s one thing
you should know by now
she?s almost gone
he used to be so close to them
but somehow they lost touch
the shame that used to distance them
doesn?t seem to matter much
and in the face of all these long lost friends
he needs them like a crutch
and he?s their little boy and all they know
Chorus
I don?t know how you found me here
I came to get away
I?ll hold you like I missed you
so you won?t know I?ve run away
but I?ve seen so many people leave
I?ve never learned to stay
don?t try to teach me now
I think it?s much too late
Chorus
