| Song | Always Already Gone |
| Artist | The Magnetic Fields |
| Album | Realism |
| I tried hard to keep you | |
| I needn't have tried | |
| It seems you'd decided | |
| When did you decide? | |
| So this is the last time | |
| I cry in the dawn | |
| It seems you were always | |
| Always already gone | |
| You never were happy | |
| You had to be free | |
| You took all the freedom | |
| You needed from me | |
| Then you and your freedom | |
| Flew thither and yon | |
| You're free to be always | |
| Always already gone | |
| I couldn't have dreamed you | |
| But I might as well | |
| You leave me with only | |
| A story to tell | |
| But at the beginning | |
| Our story is done | |
| Because you were always | |
| Always already gone... |
