"Now That You Are Gone" Lyrics

There was something in the way you said
Never to call you again
And now I know
I should have read between the lines back then
And there were secrets that you almost kept
That were quite sufficient to show
But it finally hit me when you left
My name off your suicide note

I shifted gears
I cried some tears
I did a lot of heroin
It took so long
But now I'm moving on
Now that you are gone

A half-full or half-empty shell
I was in a nebulous state
A shadow of my former self
Which wasn't all that great
But I've been seeing you around
It seems like you're doing all right
And I only cry about you now
Every other night

I went astray
I did some macrame
I walked around aimlessly
It so long
But now I'm moving on
Now that you are gone

I know we'll meet again one day
It'll be strange and outre
And I won't know what to say
Except for
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Now that you are gone

After all is said and done
There's not much to say or to do
Except for keep on keeping on
And start again anew
At least the future's in my hands
And life is a thing to live for
Cause now I have another chance
To screw it up once more

I shifted gears
I faced my fears
I did a lot of heroin
It took so long
But now I'm moving on
Now that you are gone
Now that you are gone
