Gone, Gone, Gone

Phillip Phillips · World From The Side Of The Moon [2012]

When life leaves you high and dry

I'll be at your door tonight

If you need help, if you need help

I'll shut down the city lights

I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe

To make you well, to make you well



When enemies are at your door

I'll carry you away from war

If you need help, if you need help

Your hope dangling by a string

I'll share in your suffering

To make you well, to make you well



Give me reasons to believe

That you would do the same for me



And I will do it for you, for you

Baby I'm not movin' on

I'll love you long after you're gone

For you, for you

You will never sleep alone

I'll love you long after you're gone

And long after you're gone, gone, gone



When you fall like a statue

I'm gonna be there to catch you

Put you on your feet, you on your feet

And if your well is empty

Not a thing will prevent me

Tell me what you need, what do you need



I surrender honestly

You've always done the same for me



So I will do it for you, for you

Baby I'm not movin' on

I'll love you long after you're gone

For you, for you

You will never sleep alone

I'll love you long after you're gone

And long after you're gone, gone, gone



You're my backbone, you're my cornerstone

You're my crutch when my legs stop movin'

You're my head start, you're my rugged heart

You're the pulse that I've always needed

Like a drum baby don't stop beatin'

Like a drum baby don't stop beatin'

Like a drum baby don't stop beatin'

Like a drum my heart never stops beatin'



For you, for you

Baby I'm not movin' on

I'll love you long after you're gone

For you, for you

You will never sleep alone

I'll love you long after you're gone



For you, for you

Baby I'm not movin' on

I'll love you long after you're gone

For you, for you

You will never sleep alone

I'll love you long, long after you're gone



Like a drum baby don't stop beatin'

Like a drum baby don't stop beatin'

Like a drum baby don't stop beatin'

Like a drum my heart never stops beatin' for you



And long after you're gone, gone, gone

I'll love you long after you're gone, gone, gone

Gone, Gone, Gone
