If you ever loved someone who Never took the time to know you Nothing that you say ever gets through Listening but they don't hear you You just going through the motions Every day is so monotonous Baby I'm just being honest It was over before we started I was gone already I was gone already Understanding now you're ready But I already been gone Gone already Gone already Nothing that you can tell me 'Cause I already been gone I was feeling like a dead man walking Numb from all the pain you're causing Hoping that things would change But you never gave me that option There's so many things that you don't Do to make me overlook the wrong This is not the way that love should be Guess you're not the man for me I was gone already I was gone already Understanding now you're ready But I already been gone Gone already Gone already Nothing that you can tell me 'Cause I already been gone Packed my bags made up my mind Left the keys behind Hoping I could make it disappear I could be a million miles from here Obligation made me stay As long as I did that's my mistake Boy just holding on when When I know that I I was gone already I was gone already Understanding now you're ready But I already been gone Gone already Gone already Nothing that you can tell me 'Cause I already been gone If you ever loved someone who Never took the time to know you Going through the motions Already been gone
