[Verse 1]
She walks through the room like a ghost in a dress
Eyes full of rain and a face she won't confess
Cup in her hand and the world gone dim
Smiles all around, but none of them see him
She used to know what the morning was for
Now every hallway feels like a locked-up door
Names in the dark keep calling her back
And the floor keeps swallowing the light she lacks
[Pre-Chorus]
She says, "I'm fine" with a split little grin
But the truth sits heavy in her ribs again
All that she loved got taken away
And she can't find a reason to stay
[Chorus]
She was gone, gone, gone
Gone before the dawn
Lost in the crowd
Still screaming out loud
She was gone, gone, gone
And nobody knew it
She was gone, gone, gone
And the night pulled through it (gone)
[Verse 2]
Now she skips her meals and counts every hour
Cuts her name down to a shadow of power
Mirror don't answer, it just looks away
Like it knows the words she won't say
She keeps pulling scars like a map of pain
Trying to wash them off in the pouring rain
But grief sits close like a dog at heel
And every breath hurts more than it heals
[Pre-Chorus]
She says, "I'm fine" with a split little grin
But the truth sits heavy in her ribs again
All that she loved got taken away
And she can't find a reason to stay
[Chorus]
She was gone, gone, gone
Gone before the dawn
Lost in the crowd
Still screaming out loud
She was gone, gone, gone
And nobody knew it
She was gone, gone, gone
And the night pulled through it (gone)
[Bridge]
If I could reach through the noise and the smoke
I'd tear down the lie, I'd cut through the choke
Call her name till the walls come down
Till she hears one human sound
Don't let the silence take her home
Don't let her sink in the skin and bone
There's a hand in the dark, if she reaches back
There's still a spark in the black
[Final Chorus]
She was gone, gone, gone
Gone before the dawn
Lost in the crowd
Still screaming out loud
She was gone, gone, gone
But I knew it in time
She was gone, gone, gone
And I swear she'll survive (gone)
