about

Well, you had.

Gone A Long Time is a song about someone who was gone for a while. This someone's friend found out they'd been gone through social networks.

lyrics

We don't talk no more; we've gone our separate ways, but maybe I never knew you at all.
What about the time we spent?
Gone in a flash, there was no turning back for you.
Did it not mean and thing? We talked those nights away for oh-so-long, it's true.
And these are the best days of our lives,
sat alone, in despair by the phone.

I didn't know what you meant by that;
I never thought it'd be you.
You said that you loved me as we sat down by the riverside.
I said that I loved you too.
And whilst ever silver cloud is made of freezing wetness,
I couldn't believe it was true.
There's no denying in an age of social networks,
There's no denying it's true.

I remember the nights when the days weren't so long,
We talked those nights away for oh so, oh so long.
I've been calling you for days not, trying to get through;
I've been messaging for ages, but you don't want to know.
Was it impossible for you to communicate?
Cause I've been sitting here for hours, wondering what to do.
It was fun whilst it lasted, but now not so much.
You found someone else, so we don't talk no more.
