Gone Lyrics
love,
I'm aching to believe
give me something real enough
give me somewhere to fall from
'cause in the dark
I can't find my feet
built my world on promises
colorless and cold
I'm short of breath, I'm sure
gone, let it wash away the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me back, don't expect me back
lost, sweetest things get lost
in the static far away
painted pictures of you
I fold
don't want to be holy then
don't want to be sold again
the way I was with you
I'm short of breath, I'm sure
gone let it wash away the best I had
gone and when I disappear
don't expect me back, don't expect me back
I'm short of breath, I'm sure
gone, let it wash away
the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me back
don't expect me back
at its worse the heart is sober
at its worse the heart is cold, cold, cold
I'm short of breath, I'm sure
gone, let it wash away all the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me, don't expect me back
gone, let it wash away
the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me back
don't expect me back
don't expect me back
I'm aching to believe
give me something real enough
give me somewhere to fall from
I can't find my feet
built my world on promises
colorless and cold
gone, let it wash away the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me back, don't expect me back
in the static far away
painted pictures of you
I fold
don't want to be holy then
don't want to be sold again
the way I was with you
gone let it wash away the best I had
gone and when I disappear
don't expect me back, don't expect me back
gone, let it wash away
the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me back
don't expect me back
at its worse the heart is cold, cold, cold
gone, let it wash away all the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me, don't expect me back
the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me back
don't expect me back
don't expect me back

This is about how he was once in love and how he was swept up in it. He built his world "on promises." But when it all came undone, he found himself lost. Now he's aching to believe that love can exist again.
He's bitter. He lost his innocence, naive nature. He doesn't want to be holy or sold on love again. That part of him has lost.
He's telling her he's gone now. I think both figuratively (the naive person he once was) and literally.
Good song.
I love this song -- especially the first part of the first verse. He's giving up on love because he doesn't believe in it anymore. And once he actually gives up, he's saying he won't ever love again. I think it's just his heartbroken mood that doesn't want to love again.
I think this song talks about a relationship where the guy puts a lot of effort on it to make it work and she doesn't show him any love, so finally he "folds" and tells her: "don't expect me back".
This song is fantastic. It is catchy, but more importantly, it is meaningful. I think it speaks for itself...
love this song.
