Story Behind The Song

Man finally leave woman - done with relationship

Lyrics

Gone

I boarded a train, headed into the evening sun
off to bury my broken heart, in the blue ocean

I've been waiting a long, long time to leave you
I didn't wanna lie, didn't want to deceive you

So baby when you come back home, I'll be...

Gone, and you'll look for a reason
Gone, but I won't leave any evidence
that can tell you why I'm leaving
You'll be begging for another chance
But, Goodbye is all that you will get

I left my keys by the door, on the chair on the screened in porch
where we'd sit and have coffee. How come you never believed me?

I tried to make this work, I promise you
You gotta know that I wanted to stay
And I may be the one leaving
But honey you're the one that drove me away

So baby when you come back home, I'll be...

Gone, and you'll look for a reason
Gone, but I won't leave any evidence
that can tell you why I'm leaving
You'll be begging for another chance
Then alone in the nighttime
when you're reaching out for me
only the emptiness will hold you
and it won't let go, and then you'll see
that Goodbye was good enough for me

I've got no allegiances or alibis
and there's no piece of me left there to hear you cry
so baby when you come back home... i'll be gone
