[Verse 1] We swore it was the one The one that would remain Hands full of silver vows Now empty in the rain I held it like a flame But time had other plans It slipped through all we had Like sand through open hands [Pre-Chorus] I kept it in my chest I fed it every day But even the truest spark Can burn itself away [Chorus] Gone like morning Gone, gone, gone We were certain Now it’s gone Gone like morning Gone from me Love can fade And still look back at me (oh-oh) (oh-oh) [Verse 2] I see it in the rooms The shape that used to fit A hundred little signs I should’ve noticed it The laugh inside your eyes The hush before goodbye The feeling couldn’t stay No matter how I tried [Pre-Chorus] I thought that if I loved It would not break apart But time wore down the edges And left a scarred heart [Chorus] Gone like morning Gone, gone, gone We were certain Now it’s gone Gone like morning Gone from me Love can fade And still look back at me (oh-oh) (oh-oh) [Bridge] So I will stop the fight I will unclench my hands Not every promised future Becomes the life we planned I hate how much I lost I hate what still remains But I can bless the ash And let it call my name [Final Chorus] Gone like morning Gone, gone, gone We were certain Now it’s gone Gone like morning Gone from me I will let it go Let it set me free Gone like morning Gone, gone, gone We were certain Now it’s gone Gone like morning Gone from me Love can fade And still survive in me (oh-oh) (oh-oh) (ah-ah)
