Backstory:
Being a songwriter can sometimes be like watching your children grow. You do your best, but only time can reveal what they are destined to become. I have always loved this lyric, but I was never satisfied with previous demos, so I have been writing, rewriting, re-producing, and re-demoing this for many years. Yesterday I think the Lord put His hand on my shoulder, and said "Let's finish this", and so we did. I believe this is what it has always meant to become. It just took time.
Lyrics:
Through bitter tears she prayed, please help me Lord
To face the truth and listen to my heart
She tried leaving him not once, but twice before
But never found the strength to get this far
There was nothing said
There was no goodbye
Just a look to say what they had known so long
She tried going once
She tried going twice
But this time she was going, going, gone
Twice before she let old feelings for him
Keep her on that train running out of track
Till she couldn’t bear to wake up one more morning
To another day of living in the past
There was nothing said
There was no goodbye
Just a look to say what they had known so long
She tried going once
She tried going twice
But this time she was going, going, gone
Neither one of them was looking for a reason
Why she should stay or where to lay the blame
They just couldn’t make hearts feel what they weren’t feeling
They just couldn’t make love burn where there’s no flame
There was nothing said
There was no goodbye
Just a look to say what they had known so long
She tried going once
She tried going twice
But this time she was going
Yeah this time she was going
This time she was going, going, gone
