I'm going through the motions, following the creed

Saying prayers of devotion to a God I don't believe

And I'm thinking about the ocean when I'm miles from any sea

Just a wishing and a hoping for something bigger than me

I'm going through the motions

I am going through the motions

I am going, going, going gone

I am going, going, going gone

And I'm grieving for the future

While I'm living in the past

Slowly losing grip on the dreams I had

Buried neath the weight of all the lives I let pass

Watching my youth fade, wanting it back

I'm going through the motions

I am going through the motions

I am going, going, going gone

I am going, going, going gone

Cause it's one step forward, three steps back

So far behind you'll never catch up to the girl you were supposed to be

Yeah you were almost nearly somebody

Jack of all trades, master of none

First to begin but last to be done

Waiting around for your life to start, only to find you missed the best part

Running in circles expecting a change

Ain't that the root of going insane?

Freedom to choose, but if you choose wrong

No turning back, the old you is gone

He's already gone, she's already gone

What's done is done

So we keep going through the motions

We keep going through the motions

We keep going, going, going gone

We keep going, going, going gone

We keep going, going

Going gone
