GONE Lyrics

[Verse 1: NF]
Always saw my glass as
Half empty, it was never full

You were always passive
And I was irresponsible
Didn't have a chance but
We were scared to let things go
Young, in love, broken hearts
Holdin' on to our false hope
Had your whole life planned out
I had no clue who I was
Gave it all we had, but
Guess our all wasn't enough
Wonder where you're at now
Did you ever find the one?
Hope you're out there somewherе happy
Sometimes, I think of ya

[Pre-Chorus: NF]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Yeah, yеah
And it makes me sad
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Mm-mm, yeah
The way you left
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
But I'm glad you did
It was for the best
[Chorus: NF]
I pray, someday
You find yourself
Somehow, someway
With someone else
Don't wait, it's too late
To keep holding on
Yeah, I'm already gone


[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Julia Michaels]
Yeah, I could blame us breakin' up on bein' too young and bein' too dumb
And bein' too caught up on past traumas
But the truth is, we just weren't right, we planned our whole life
And we both knew we should've just ended on the first night

And I know if I would have stayed with you
I would've been down on luck and done with love

And done too much to make you stay
Second-guessin' and resentin' all the love
I could've gave to someone else
Got carpal tunnel from holdin' on to what we once felt
I'm happy for you, I am
Yeah, don't get me wrong, I am
And once in a while, it's true
I think about you too
Yeah, I do
I think about you too
[Pre-Chorus: NF, NF & Julia Michaels, Julia Michaels]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Mm, yeah
And it makes me sad
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Oh-oh, yeah
The way you left
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Oh-oh-oh
But I'm glad you did
It was for the best
(Yeah, yeah, oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus: NF & Julia Michaels, Julia Michaels, NF]
I pray that someday
You find yourself
Somehow, someway (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
With someone else
Don't wait (Don't wait), it's too late (It's too late)
To keep holding on
Yeah, yeah, I'm already gone

[Outro: NF, Julia Michaels, NF & Julia Michaels]
Mm, yeah
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah-yeah

I'm already gone
Oh

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

‘GONE’ is the 8th track off NF’s fifth studio album, ‘HOPE’.
The song combines the more acoustic piano vibe of Julia Michaels and NF off his first old album ‘Mansion’, with the most recent cinematic and sampled style of music Nate has produced. This song mentions struggles about immaturity, like NF’s ‘Wish You Wouldn’t’ and ‘I Just Wanna Know’ and not being able to get hold relationships due to being naive. Julia’s verse is allegedly supposed to written about an ex-boyfriend, an artist that goes by Lauv.
