Where Have You Gone

Where Have You Gone?

You someday that we might meet,
But now I might just choose defeat,
Lay my armor down right by my feet.

Our love it cannot be ignored,
You shut me out then slam the door,
You dry my drought and flood my downpour.

In your eyes I’m probably dead to you,
But to you I just cannot refuse,
To tell you that it’s you that I can’t lose.

And this is it, I’m standing here now,
Knocking at your door, but you’re out.
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?

I need your honest eyes today,
Do you really mean what you say?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?

My heart it tells me to ignore,
All the feelings that are unsure,
Is it true, am I that of a bore?

Before you left with her, your heart was true,
Now yours is red and mine is blue,
I want you in my life, I just can’t lose you.

And then that silly feeling sinks in,
I think of that insatiable kiss.
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?

My mother, should have listened to her,
I should have been much smarter, wiser.
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
