She was my lover and she was my friend.
My constant companion right up to the end.
She left for no reason, no reason she told me,
But that don’t make her any less gone.
I often fall victim to burning desire.
She holds the passion to throw on my fire.
She left for no reason, no reason she told me,
But that don’t make her any less gone.
She’s gone with the wind. Melted like snow.
She knows how I love her so how could she go?
She walked out the door and ran like the rain.
She took all the love and left me insane.
So I spit at the moon and I scream at the night.
I cuss at the sun for burning so bright.
She left for no reason, no reason she told me,
But that don’t make her any less gone.
She’s gone with the wind. Melted like snow.
She knows how I love her so how could she go?
She walked out the door and ran just like the rain.
She took all the happiness and left all the pain.
So I show off my sorrows like professional dancers
And I suck on this bottle like it holds all the answers.
She left for no reason, no reason she told me,
But that don’t make her any less gone.
She left for no reason, no reason she told me,
But that don’t make her any less gone.
