Blue Rodeo - Already Gone lyrics

Monday morning waking up Still too numb to speak Another night staring at the wall Last night's conversation Knocked me off my feet I guess today I fall I wish that we could agree To look the other way Be careful of the things we do And watch the things we say Maybe then we'd get somewhere We've never been before But what's the use in fighting When you know you've lost the war Walked the streets of New Orleans Shirt soaked to my skin Through the mess of yesterday's parade A thousand times a day I think of calling you again But I come to my senses instead Every time we walk away We lose a little time Pretending to each other Everything is fine After all the lies I use To get myself to sleep I still wake up to the promises I know we'll never keep Say you don't see What's wrong Every night Lasts so long I know I do You're already gone I wonder should I get up I would but what's the point When something's gone It's gone for good Maybe I could look away Back to where we used to be One more time I wish I could Never mind the reasons That tore us all apart We've both done things I know we can't defend What's the use in tracing It all back to the start There'll still be something Missing in the end I wish that we could find The words to look the other way Be careful of the things we do And watch the things we say Maybe then we'd get somewhere We've never been before But what's the use in fighting When you know you've lost the war Say you don't see What's wrong Every night Lasts so long I know I do You're already gone I know You're already gone
