Since You've Been Gone

I ride the bus to the end of the line
Cause since you’ve been gone I’ve had nothing but time
To think about all the ways I did you wrong

I stand unknown in unknown streets
Performing poems and miraculous feats
Inspired by the ways I’ve been done wrong

Since you’ve been gone
I’ve taken the long way home
since you’ve been gone
I’ve changed my tone

since you’ve been gone
I’ve found a new way to play
Since you’ve been gone
I’ve been trying to get away

Since you’ve been gone

I walk the streets until the morning light
Looking for something to make it alright
But all I find are reminders that you’re gone

I sing my songs til I’m deaf from the sound
But still you don’t seem to want me around
You’re sitting up front but still you’re long gone

I can no longer wait at the bus stop
That I once waited at with you
I can no longer sing all the sad songs
That I once sang for only you
You’re a thief who cannot be trusted with love

Composed today, with the exception of the first two verses, which were composed earlier...hell if I remember exactly when.
