Cuz You're Gone
Goo Goo Dolls · Ego Opinion Art & Commerce
And I spit you words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
No I don't know how
Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back
You held your hand so close
And I just can't push you away
I wished you could be my girl
But you're stuck in your a grown-up world
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No I don't know how
Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
And I don't know how
Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and I wish you'd come back
Cuz You're Gone
Goo Goo Dolls' "Cuz You're Gone" stands as a defining track from their 1998 album *Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce*. Released during the band's peak commercial success, the song exemplifies their signature blend of pop-rock and emotional balladry. Featuring the iconic, soaring vocal performance of Richard Marx, the recording captures the raw vulnerability and anthemic quality that characterized the group's work in the late 1990s. The track became a staple of their live performances and radio rotation, cementing the band's legacy as one of the most influential rock acts of the decade. Its enduring appeal lies in its universal themes of heartbreak and resilience, delivered with a production style that balanced acoustic intimacy with radio-ready power.
