[Intro]
The ash of her cigarette still lingers
As she slams the door, I touch the tray
With my fingers

[Verse 1]
Left me a note
With scribbled cues
And a $20
It's getting late
And still no sign
Of returning

[Chorus 1]
I miss you
But it's my cue
To march on
You said
I love you
Let's start anew
But I'm long gone

[Verse 2]
The school bell rings at 3 o'clock
Now I'm waiting
I'm pacing and replaying the promise
You made me
[Verse 3]
Mothers and daughters reuniting
With laughter
All I have are your empty words
I sought after

[Chorus 2]
I miss you
But it's my cue
To march on
You said
I love you
Let's start anew
But I'm long gone

[Bridge]
I'm not mad, I'm not sad
I'vе accepted that lonelinеss is not a sin
Just me and my notepad
The only time I let my sadness win
As time goes on, I surrender
I'll always remember that

[Chorus 3]
I miss you
But it's my cue
To march on
You said
I love you
Let's start anew
But I'm long gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Gone, gone, gone

[Outro]
I catch myself driving by one winter
The ash of her cigarette still lingers
