Already Gone

I don't know how else to say it now
I'd rather be alone than feel this hollow vow
You see me leaving, sadness in your stare
But I've been bleeding long before you cared
You only noticed from the distance
When I stopped tracing your existence
But I've been walking far too long
Through shattered nights and quiet wrongs
Your final cut won't hurt me deep
You never saw the wounds I keep
Just echoes in a dream gone dry
A suitcase full of hope, goodbye
You think this ends with your regret
But I was gone before you felt the threat
I lived on dreams you couldn't see
Built castles in a dying sea
You called it foolish, I called it love
But all I did was not enough
And still I hoped, like years before
For something real, for something more
But what's the point of being near
If all you give is empty fear?
Your final cut won't hurt me deep
You never saw the wounds I keep
Just echoes in a dream gone dry
A suitcase full of hope, goodbye
You think this ends with your regret
But I was gone before you felt the threat
I used to follow every trace
Now I'm just shadows you can't chase
No grand goodbye, no bitter scene
Just faded love and what has been
Your final cut won't hurt me deep
You never saw the wounds I keep
Just echoes in a dream gone dry
A suitcase full of hope, goodbye
I leave behind the silent screams
And walk alone with my old dreams
