[Verse 1] You lit up the room like a wildfire burnin' Eyes full of dreams, always turnin’ I never saw the cracks behind your smile We were flyin’ high, just for a little while [Pre-Chorus] Now the silence screams like a freight train crash Midnight tears fall, lightning flash I’m stuck with a question that never ends Where'd you go, why couldn't I defend? [Chorus] You were gone in the night like a shot in the dark Took the love, took the flame, left a hole in my heart You were my fire, now I’m lost in the cold Damn this pain, it’s got no place to go Gone in the night—yeah, I didn’t see the sign Now I’m screaming at the stars for one more time [Verse 2] I still hear your voice in the back of my mind A whisper on the wind I can’t rewind You danced on the edge, and I never knew The fight inside that you couldn’t get through [Pre-Chorus] I would've held you through every storm Ripped down heaven just to keep you warm But angels fall when no one sees Now I'm down here on my knees [Chorus] You were gone in the night like a bolt from the blue Left me chasing shadows of you You were my thunder, now the sky won't cry I keep asking the heavens, why oh why? Gone in the night—took the best of me Left me with a ghost and a memory [Bridge] If love could heal, I’d turn back time Trade my soul just to cross that line But I’m stuck in this song, I can’t escape The echo of a goodbye too late [Final Chorus] You were gone in the night, and I’m still here Drunk on pain, drowning in the years You were my light, now I fight the dark Runnin’ on empty, broken spark Gone in the night—but your fire still burns In the chords, in the tears, in every turn [Outro] Yeah… I still feel you… You were gone too soon… Gone in the night… And I still play for you…
