Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girl
You were like a burning star
Shining and never dark
But now it's getting hard to see ya (hard to see ya)

[Verse 2]
You
Were brighter than the sun to me
The only one I ever need
But now it's getting hard to feel ya

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna say: “I know it's not too late”
But I know you'll never hear me now (hear me now)
And I wanna say: “Girl, please don't walk away”
But the words just won't come out

[Chorus]
Wish I was stronger then, I fought harder then
I wish that I was still the air to your flame (air to your flame)
Wish I had longer then, I thought smarter then
I wish you'd drop your bags and wanted to stay (wanted to stay)
But you're gone
But you're gone
But you're gone
But you're gone
[Verse 3]
Woah
Girl
You were like a hurricane
Your love swept me away
But now it's getting hard to breath ya (hard to breath ya)

[Verse 4]
You
You were like a symphony
Telling my heart to beat
But now it's getting hard to hear ya (hard to hear ya)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna say: “I know it's not too late”
But I know you'll never hear me now (hear me now)
And I wanna say: “Girl, please don't walk away”
But the words won't come out (out)

[Chorus]
Wish I was stronger then, I fought harder then
I wish that I was still the air to your flame (air to your flame)
Wish I had longer then, I thought smarter then
I wish you'd drop your bags and wanted to stay (wanted to stay)

I wish I was stronger, wish I fought harder
I wish that I was still the air to your flame (air to your flame)
I wish I had longer, wish I thought smarter
I wish you'd drop your bags and wanted to stay (wanted to stay)
[Bridge]
But you're gone
Someday I'll see you
I'll be what you need
Knock on the door, bags on the floor, and you'll be running back to me
Someday you'll see me
For who I could be
Open my eyes, and realize it was all just a dream

[Chorus]
Wish I was stronger then, I fought harder then
I wish that I was still the air to your flame (your flame)
Wish I had longer then, I thought smarter then
I wish you'd drop your bags and wanted- yeah you wanted (to stay)

Wish I was stronger then, I fought harder then
I wish that I was still the air to your flame (air to your flame)
Wish I had longer then, I thought smarter then
I wish you'd drop your bags and wanted to stay (wanted to stay)

I wish I was stronger, wish I fought harder
I wish that I was still the air to your flame (air to your flame)
I wish I had longer, wish I thought smarter
I wish you'd drop your bags and wanted to stay (wanted to stay)
But you're gone
But you're gone
But you're gone

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 [?]
