Lyrics

Gone So Soon

Gone so soon

Our time ran out

I was barely close to you

There's disappointment here

Between us two

Now you're gone so soon

Gone so soon

Nothing feels like it was supposed to do

I hate to put you out

If your heart's not in it too

I wish our time was not gone so soon

All the plans we made

Are now being remade with someone new

There's nothing left for me to say

Just accept you're gone so soon

Getting back close to you

I always thought I'd be close to you

I never dreamed I'd see the day

That you would go away

And be gone so soon

And be gone so soon
