Gone

by Eric Hunter   Aug 18, 2005



Gone are the days of happiness
Gone are the tears of joy
These tears I shed now are from love that’s been destroyed

Living a life of solitude
This is my destiny I must abide by
Can’t change my fate yet I still try

Looking at others smile and be loved
Living alone I can’t claim a love of my own
Too bad I’m not someone else, too bad I’ll always be alone

For I no longer see much purpose in life
I’ll never be married, I’ll never have a loving wife
Losing more of me as time passes me by

Life is good to some and unfair to others
I’m friends to all but a lover to none
I have seen plenty but to them I’m not the one

I wish I could burn this old shell of myself
I wish I could start all over I wish I could be new
I want a new life, a new heart, I want it all new

I’ll never find this so-called love I hear and see so much
I’ll never feel the warmth of a woman’s touch
Accept this fate I must, accept the solitary life I must

Sometimes I think death is the only way out
Sometimes I wonder if I’d be missed
Of all those I’ve been with, no love for me for those I’ve kissed

I carry on with no reason in mind
I keep up this misery, I keep up the act
One day soon my body and mind will collapse

Someday this suffering will end
Someday it will all be gone
Will that day be soon, or further beyond
