Kayla's up early and vince stays up,
She leaves her hair down, cause he likes her undone
And vince tells her daily that she's the one
Another day, another day gone

She living in circles and he draws the lines,
He moved to the west coast, she's on eastern standard time,
But still he calls her almost every night
Cause once it's gone it's gone
Cause once it's gone it's gone

Should have been there playing
Where do I go from here?
I thought u just might laugh
And the rest becomes clear
So this is all that I get for living my life like this
I'm home alone
Drying my own tears

The ones who hurt u
Are the ones u love
If that makes sense
Will u catch me up?
And I hold her crying and then don't give up
Cause once it's gone it's gone
Cause once it's gone it's gone

She goes to the longest to throw out
The things to remind her what she lives without
Now kayla's living in an empty house
But nothing's ever gone
Nothing's ever gone

Should have been there playing
Where do I go from here?
I thought u just might laugh
And the rest becomes clear
So this is all that I get for living my life like this
I'm home alone
Drying my own tears

She found herself in californIA
And wants to call vince up every single day
But to recover, she burned half her heart away
But nothing's ever gone
Nothing's ever gone

Should have been there playing
Where do I go from here?
I thought u just might laugh
And the rest becomes clear
So this is all that I get for living my life like this
I'm home alone
Drying my own tears
