Hope Is Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1: Hillary Gardner]
You look like the man I knew once or twice
So pale, so lovely, your eyes black like ice
You look like the man I've seen here before
So tired and alone with your wasted alone

[Chorus: Hillary Gardner]
Leave me now, just leave me now
Close the door, all my time's run out
Leave me now, leave me now
Time is gone, all my time's run out

[Verse 2: Hillary Gardner]
You look like him, same dark black eyes
Oh, just last year I watched him die
You look like him, quiet and alive
I've left behind pain, I've left behind life

[Chorus: Hillary Gardner]
Leave me now, just leave me now
Close the door, all my time's run out
Leave me now, leave me now
Time is gone, all my time's run out
Leave me now, just leave me now
Hope is gone, all my time's run out

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
