Gone without a trace

"Gone without a trace" is a song by LorD and Master from the album Fractured. The song is about someone returning home from work and finding that their partner has taken all their stuff and left for good. The song is, perhaps unaccountably, Latin in some of its instrumentation. The song also includes the slightly oxymoronic lyric of "found you gone", which is a bit like "waking up dead". But there you go.

Lyrics

Just a normal day at work
Staring at my screen
Putting numbers in boxes
The same old routine
Just a normal day at work
Glancing at my phone
Watching time ebbing away
Itching to go home

Itching to go home
Not knowing I’ll be there alone
Itching to go home

I found you gone without a trace
The smile, it fell right off my face
Four years of love gone to waste
I don’t recall our last embrace

I got home and found you gone
No note, no word
Checked every room in the house
This is so absurd
I got home and found you gone
I know who’s to blame
It’s that guy I saw your with
Have you no shame?

Have you no shame?
I can’t believe we played this game
Have you no shame?
