Gone

she was young and unafraid
and he could see the choice she made
to live a life for no one but herself

but through her failings he could see
the perfect pair that they could be
but she gave her heart to someone else

blind to what he could see
that only he could make her happy

the years went by the seasons changed
his love for her still remained
but he couldn't bear a broken heart forever

when finally she realized
his love for her how hard he'd try
to make their lives beautiful together

she said he loves me so how did I not know
that only he can make me happy

but in that cold night air much to her despair
he wasn't there to make her happy

'cause she was like Scarlett O'Hara
and he was gone with the wind
and she's only left with glimpses
of what they could have been
'cause she'll never get him back now
if only she had seen that he was the one all along
but she loved someone else for too long
and now he's gone

and oh how she'll always curse the day
when he gave up and he went away
but baby it's too late

for Scarlett O'Hara
'cause he's gone with the wind
and she's only left with glimpses
of what they could have been
'cause she'll never get him back now
if only she had seen that he was the one all along

and she was like Scarlett O'Hara
he was gone with the wind
and she's only left to think back
on all the things she'll miss
'cause he's never coming back now
if only she had seen that in his arms is where she belonged
but her selfish heart led her so wrong
he was the one all along
but she loved someone else for too long
and now he's gone

and now he's gone
