Gone the day when I fell in love,
Gone the day when I gave it up, and
Gone the day when I fell in love again.
Gone the day when I filled the cup,
Gone the day when I had enough, and
Gone the day when I fell in love again.
I swore I’d never want it any more.
I knew I’d never get it, that’s for sure.
And I swore I’d never let it hurt me again.
I swore and meant it, yes I did,
I swore and I meant it.
Now I’m falling, let me fall.
I’m falling, let me fall.
Gone the day when I took the chance,
Gone the day when I chased romance, and
Gone the day when chose to heed the call.
Gone the day when I heard the bell,
Gone the day when I hurt like hell, and
Gone the day when I swore I’d never fall.
I swore i’d never follow my heart again,
I swore i’d never swallow my pride again.
I swore I’d never wallow in love again,
I swore all hollow, yes I did,
I swore all hollow.
I swore I’d keep it level.
Thought I could keep it even.
I took it for a given.
I swore to heaven.
I swore a vow to heaven.
Now I’m falling let me fall
I’m falling let me fall
Gone the day when I filled the cup,
Gone the day when I had enough, and
Gone the day when I fell in love again.
