You caught me for a while,
now you've nothing to say anymore
Well can't it be like before?
Where did you go baby? Why was it me? maybe
all of this time you'd let me go
It's funny how we abide the people we covet and confide in
All of the changes for them
And all of the thoughts going in and out of my head start to spin
Like all of the things I wish I said when I had the chance to have said them
(don't don't go don't don't ever go)
I bet no one's ever said she's a keeper
Always hanging by a thread
No one can reach her
Oh where have I gone?
Oh where have I gone?
Oh where have I gone?
And all of the corners you cut
hearing "I love you" not so much
It starts to cut in to me
Cause I need to feel like you do think i'm something to you
I know that I'm not what you dreamed, dreamed
I was not for the keeping
(don't don't go don't don't ever go)
I bet no one's ever said she's a keeper
Always hanging by a thread
No one can reach her
Oh where have I gone?
Oh where have I gone?
Oh where have I gone?
