Stay Gone

We don't always hear the end When it knocks on the door To let you know what's coming there and then You could slip in, in the dark Find your way under my skin You and your band of demons Just move right in And you come to stay And you find your way Into every breath I breathe But I fought you and I beat you Before you got too deep I know there will be more of you Bound to come along So I thank my lucky star To say we are through And pray you'll stay gone You get away with murder You steal sanity from the sane You rock the lives of moms and dads And children all the same And you never face your trials Or you'd be somewhere doing time Till the end of days, and kingdom come Not a soul would ever mind But you come to stay And you find your way Into every breath I breathe But I fought you and I beat you Before you got too deep I know there will be more of you Bound to come along So I thank my lucky star To say we are through And pray you'll stay gone Every life you take will live again There's a part of every life that you can never win But when you've taken all you can from me And I finally lose it all I'll thank my lucky star to say we're through And pray you'll stay gone
