lyrics

[Chorus 2X – Nigel Williams]
Oh
The love is gone
If you look for me
Then you will see
That I’m already gone

[Verse 1 – Arlo Maverick]
Baby there’s something on my mind
Do you mind if we talk
I’m prolly totally off base
Nonetheless we should talk
I want to chalk it up to nothing
The product of insecurity
There’s things I’m seeing lately
That tell me you prefer to be

[Verse 1 – Adora]
Where’s this coming from
Is this about last night?
I told you it was my girl

[Verse 1 – Arlo Maverick]
Oh, is that right
You said it was your Mother
Which leads me to believe
Well I
Wanna believe
I’m not being deceived
Noticed you living in a vacuum
More time in the bathroom
You act new
Defensive when I’d ask you
To make sense of these scents
And dollars spent on clothes
Foreign smells to my nose
I question if you pose
In your lingerie collection
The one that has grown
But never do I view
Cause you’re never in the mood
Spent money I ain’t have to buy a ring for you
Don’t even know his name
But I envy dude
Ain’t dressed like this in forever
Why him
To entice him
Do you like him
Why him

[Verse 1 – Adora]
Please
Don’t accuse me
There’s no him
And there’s never been
Anyone or anything
That’s ever been close to this

[Verse 1 – Arlo Maverick]
See I was hoping for honesty
But obviously you’ve consciously
Made the choice to lie to me
But out of curiosity
What is it you gain
From these lies you tell
Was it greener or just due
Cause you can’t hide your smell

[Chorus 2X – Nigel Williams]
Oh
The love is gone
If you look for me
Then you will see
That I’m already gone

[Verse 2 – Adora]
I’m last person you wanna speak with
But I can no longer hurt you with all these secrets
And I should’ve come clean
When you asked me
But a future with you gone was looking at me
Please understand that I never meant to hurt you
I love you more than life
That’s why I learnt to
Accept that your work came before us
But I wish the trappings of success offered more love
Cause now we barely see each other
And we never talk
And that ain’t like you
And this ain’t like us

[Verse 2 – Arlo Maverick]
So you justify your actions
Complaining that I’m absent
Like your sexual advances
Might’ve never happened if

[Verse 2 – Adora]
How dare you resent me
When this house was empty
So many nights you left me
And let loneliness tempt me
You take me for granted
Yet I match your work
Accepting that I’m second
And your music is first
I get you on the come up
But these conversations come up
Cause we always cancel plans
Cause something else will come up
We sposed to be a team
But I feel it’s only me
Whose trying save our love
Cause you’d
Much rather be
Writing songs for your fans
But its not them its me
Vying for your love
No its not them its me
But no, it’s all about you
Cause you’re so fucking selfish
And to think I even questioned
If I’d kept it

[Chorus 2X – Nigel Williams]
Oh,
The love is gone
If you look for me
Then you will see
That I’m already gone
