There's a thousand words that I could say
To make you come home, yeah
Seems so long ago you walked away
And left me alone
And I remember what you said to me
You were acting so strange, mm
And maybe I was too blind to see
That you needed a change

Was it something I said
To make you turn away?
To make you walk out and leave me cold?
If I could just find a way
To make it so that you were right here
Right now

I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind (can't get you off my mind)
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face (touch your face)
But the truth remains, you're

Gone
You're gone
Baby, you're gone
Girl, you're gone
Baby girl, you're gone
You're gone
You're

Now I don't wanna make excuses, baby
Won't change the fact that you're gone
No, no
But if there's something that I could do
Won't you please let me know?
The time is passing so slowly now
Guess that's my life without you, mm-mm
(Guess that's my life without you)
And maybe I could change my every day, yeah
But, baby, I don't want to

So I'll just hang around
And find some things to do
To take my mind off missing you
(Take my mind off missing you)
And I know in my heart
You can't say that you don't love me too
Please say you do
Yeah, hey, hey, yeah, yeah

I've been sitting here (sitting here)
Can't get you off my mind (get you off my mind)
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
(My best to be a man and be strong)
I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face (wishing I could touch your face)
But the truth remains, you're
(Truth remains, you're)

Gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
Oh, oh

What will I do
If I can't be with you?
Tell me where will I turn to?
Baby, who will I be?
Now that we are apart
Am I still in your heart?
Baby, why don't you see?
That I need you here with me
Oh, oh

I've been sitting here (sitting here)
Can't get you off my mind (can't get you off my mind)
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
(My best to be a man)
I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face (going crazy, baby, oh)
But the truth remains, you're
(The truth remains, you're gone)
I've been sitting here (sitting here)
Can't get you off my mind (can't get you off my mind)
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
(My best to be a man, oh)
I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face (oh)
But the truth remains, you're (oh, oh)
(Baby, the truth is, you're)

Gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
Baby girl, you're gone
You're gone
But the truth remains, you're

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
