[Intro]

Yeah

Imma just go ahead and, uh

Get on out of here, I

Well, I prolly won't see you later but

You know

[Chorus]

I left a long time ago

On movin', you look for me, you'll find a ghost

I been gone since the welcome wasn't warm

And I looked around everywhere, still I couldn't find a hope

So, I'll see you never 'til forever comes

When my eyes shut and all my breath has left my lungs

I would rather be alone in this life

Than to try to belong and be accepted where I never was

[Verse]

I'm biddin' farewell

I'll send a postcard, leave a trace in the mail

But, you won't ever find me again, a promise I won't break

I'm done now if you can't tell

I hope ya understand

I stayed as long as I can

But, how am I supposed to be a man?

If I just let the world walk over me and don't retaliate

Honestly, I'd rather not it so I ran

I gathered my belongings, I don't plan on coming back

If I left anything: keep it, I don't want it back

Anything you got that was mine isn't mine anymore

Ain't a part of me that I want attached, so cut the cord

You can burn it all if you need to

Send it to somebody 'cross the country if it please you

If only I could take the memories of me

I would take 'em from your brain and make em leave too

Because it's over now, and hold your frown

'Cause we all saw it coming, you just don't know how until you do

And all you hear is the silence

I left quietly but my ghost is loud, I

I'm on my way

I palm my shame, the guilt been gone for days

The home that we made isn't there no more

And I won't be either when you call my name, mmm

[Chorus]

I left a long time ago

On movin', you look for me, you'll find a ghost

I been gone since the welcome wasn't warm

And I looked around everywhere, still I couldn't find a hope

So, I'll see you never 'til forever comes

When my eyes shut and all my breath has left my lungs

I would rather be alone in this life

Than to try to belong and be accepted where I never was

[Outro]

Mmm, yeah

I left a long time ago

On movin', on movin'

You look for me, you'll find a ghost
