𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲 ( 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔 '𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒂𝒖𝒍𝒕')

Long Gone

Written: July 2nd, 2021

Genre: Pop-Rock

A/N: Lyrically, It's giving evermore album but a 14 year old wrote it, so y'know, no fancy words from the Taylor dictionary, but it def has that sad, longing storytelling going on. This is actually my fav 2021 song fRoM tHe VaULt. Like, it's not a bad song?! Still unsure why I wrote a song from a 20 smth year old's pov but okay!

INTRO:

I got away, got away

Before you even noticed

Got away, got away-way-ayy

It's too late, too late

I've made up my mind

I no longer choose to stay

1ST VERSE:

Don't get me wrong,

What we had was never a mistake

 It was all beautiful, radiant. A bitter sweet of taste

It was all me, the path I chose to ta-a-ke

That's the decision I ma-a-de

Doesn't mean I ever stopped loving you

You know that I still do

CHORUS:

I was long gone before your peak

Fading slowly in your sleep

Nothing more but a solid dot in your dreams

It's not real, it's not real

It's long gone, out of reach

There's nothing you could do

Nothing left to prove

Dashed into dust, long gone

That's the truth, said it's the truth

It's all really long gone

2ND VERSE:

Look at you, doing fine without me

Laughing, having a good time with your colleagues

Smiling, pouring them a cup of coffee

It's like you practically forgot about me

And that's okay

Like I said, It's the choice I chose to make

But If I'm honest,you being close with friends always me jealous

Made me feel left out, never good enough to fill the page

That out there, you deserve greater love ... than mine

One that would greatly satisfy the ending of the book into a happily ever after

Instead of tragedy

I guess that's partially the reason why I ran away

Taking my deepest fears into consideration into renegade

I mean, weren't you ever tired of waiting?

CHORUS:

I was long gone before your peak

Fading slowly in your sleep

Nothing more but a solid dot in your dreams

It's not real, it's not real

It's long gone, out of reach

There's nothing you could do

Nothing left to prove

Dashed into dust, long gone

That's the truth, said it's the truth

It's all really long gone

BRIDGE:

You're now at the top

Isn't that enough?

I mean, look at you

Succeeding in every step taken

The Precautions all rolled up in your sleeve

You know better, you've done better than me

Your new girl, she's pretty

Absolutely everything that I never was

Yes I know, it's all my loss

Look at you, what a catch

You could've been my safety net

But I let it all go, I let it go

Now I'll never know, I'll never know

OUTRO:

It's all long gone

I'm simply a distant memory

I'm practically forgotten history

My name; You let it fade it away

And that's okay, that's okay

It was the decision I chose to make

It's long gone, long gone

Long gone, long gone

And I'm to blame
