Donny Hathaway - Gone Away lyrics

I try to reason and tell myself you'll return But you are gone and I know, I know, I know you're gone You were mine for only a minute And if I hurt you I didn't intend it You are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind You're not gonna stay But I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby I lost you, baby, you were gone Forgive and forget it that's not what I'll ask you to do Cause I want you back, yeah You know, you know I want you back And in concluding my mental discussion I found I lost my prized possession You are gone away, I keeptellin' my mind You're not gonna stay And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby I lost you, baby, you were gone You were mine for only a minute And if I hurt you I didn't intend it You are gone away, I keeptellin' my mind You're not gonna stay And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby I lost you, baby and you were gone Lie, lies I told you baby I never meant to say
