Title: Gone

Rating: K

Summary: Mickey's thoughts during Boom Town. Songfic.

Disclaimer: Hello, I am Russell T. Davies, and while I could be earning millions of pounds writing for Series Three of Doctor Who, I'd rather write pointless fanfic for nothing. I realise I have also opened myself up to PMs complaining about Doomsday and that piece of crap Love & Monsters ... nah I'm just pulling your leg. I don't own Gone either.

Author's Note: Because I am cursed to relate every song I hear to Doctor Who in one way or another, here's another songfic! I would like to dedicate this to all my lovely reviewers. You make my day!

Gone

I'm standing here, alone. You are across the road, asking a man something. I'm guessing it's about me. But I'm not interested.

What you see's not what you get

I'm not the man you loved. He left 18 months ago, when you did.

With you there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there

Where do we stand? Why do you keep coming back if you aren't going to stay? What do you want?

Your eyes they sparkle
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care

I'm sick of waiting for months on end, just to see you for a few hours and then have you leave me again. I don't know what you think of me anymore. I know you aren't in love with me anymore. All that time-travel seems to have made you forget about other people's feelings. Now I'm so numb inside.

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world

Now you've lost me forever. I can't keep living this life. I have to start living for me.

There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn

You call me to do favours for you, to come running. I'm not going to do this anymore. I can't just be in the middle. You've obviously decided you don't need me anymore. It's up to me to finish the job.

You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

Did you really think I'd be on call for you for the rest of my life? I'm trying to make something of myself, and you just waltz in whenever you feel like it.

Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you

I never got over the pain. Whenever I was around you I kept thinking, "This is the girl who abandoned you for an alien".

Always ending
Always over
Back and forth, up and down like a rollercoaster
I am breaking
That habit
Today

I'm out of your life. This is the only way the pain will end. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn't cut it, babe
Take the hit and walk away
'Cause I'm gone
Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone

You can't, nay, won't make up for it. You could stay, but you won't. You think you can do other things to make up for it, like dragging me into one of your little adventures. It's not working. I really have no idea what's really going on in your life. Do you know what it feels like for me? It's like you're playing a game behind my back.

What you see's not what you get

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
