So what if it's breaking my heart at the root Something that could happen to anyone, I suppose Never any comfort to get from the truth From knowing the part of this person that no one knows So we just cry With hopelessness We're making such a mess It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it It's not that I'm frightened of being alone It's just that I know what a burden this grief can be Everything happens for something, I know Can't understand for the moment what this could mean That love is gone That love is blind That love is so unkind It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it Nobody wants to be happier more than me Nobody wants to be happier more than I do But happiness I must confess I don't have It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it It's long gone, buddy, now - run and go after it
