You Were Gone Lyrics
[Verse 1: Sam Claflin, Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
Mm, can't you tell by my face
There are things I try to erase?
Memories of nothin'
But for the money's worth I paid
I woke up and you sat me down
Said, "The future is over now"
And memories are nothin'
And there's no life left to see
[Chorus: Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
A tree carvin' of our names left high and alone
Nothin' ever seems to stay that way, not for too long
Where were you? Oh, when I needed you, you were gone
When I needed you, you were gone
[Verse 2: Sam Claflin, Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
Mm, not a tracе of that wreck
I took a topple from the day
And gathеred in a ball beneath the sea
But the hand that pulled me through
The center of the night was you
Why I floated, why I reached towards the moon
[Chorus: Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
A tree carvin' of our names left high and alone
Nothin' ever seems to stay that way, not for too long
Where were you? Oh, when I needed you, you were gone
When I needed you, you were gone
Mm, can't you tell by my face
There are things I try to erase?
Memories of nothin'
But for the money's worth I paid
I woke up and you sat me down
Said, "The future is over now"
And memories are nothin'
And there's no life left to see
[Chorus: Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
A tree carvin' of our names left high and alone
Nothin' ever seems to stay that way, not for too long
Where were you? Oh, when I needed you, you were gone
When I needed you, you were gone
[Verse 2: Sam Claflin, Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
Mm, not a tracе of that wreck
I took a topple from the day
And gathеred in a ball beneath the sea
But the hand that pulled me through
The center of the night was you
Why I floated, why I reached towards the moon
[Chorus: Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
A tree carvin' of our names left high and alone
Nothin' ever seems to stay that way, not for too long
Where were you? Oh, when I needed you, you were gone
When I needed you, you were gone
[Post-Chorus: Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
(Ooh) When I needed you, you were gone
(Ooh) When I needed you, you were gone, mm
(Ooh)
[Bridge: Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
How about I turn it off?
Just flip the switch and walk away
Every story has an ending
Then it's not our job to stay
Now, how about we turn it off?
Just forget it like it's gone
We'll forget about the way you turn me on
[Outro: Sam Claflin & Riley Keough, Sam Claflin]
Yeah, when I needed you, you were gone
(When I needed you, when I needed you)
When I needed you, you were gone
You were gone, you were gone
(Ooh) When I needed you, you were gone
(Ooh) When I needed you, you were gone, mm
(Ooh)
[Bridge: Sam Claflin & Riley Keough]
How about I turn it off?
Just flip the switch and walk away
Every story has an ending
Then it's not our job to stay
Now, how about we turn it off?
Just forget it like it's gone
We'll forget about the way you turn me on
[Outro: Sam Claflin & Riley Keough, Sam Claflin]
Yeah, when I needed you, you were gone
(When I needed you, when I needed you)
When I needed you, you were gone
You were gone, you were gone
