Gone Like That Lyrics
Josh Kelley
Lyrics
Why'd she have to look so beautiful?
Why'd she have to pick this place?
I hope she brought an explanation
I hope she doesn't look my way
'Cause it'll be hard to say hello to her
When she never said goodbye
It'd take every bit of strength I've gained
To not get lost in those eyes
Oh, but I can't take another gone like that
Can't take another hurt so bad that
I can't breathe, I can't sleep, don't wanna eat
And I won't take another where'd she go
Can't take another all alone
Man, I want her back
But I can't take another gone like that
I can't take another gone like that, no
She came up on me like a flood
Wiped out everything I knew
Now I'm just barely treading water
Last thing I need to do is reach for you
Oh, but I can't take another gone like that
Can't take another
Hurt so bad that
I can't breathe, I can't sleep, don't wanna eat
And I won't take another where'd she go
Can't take another all alone
Man, I want her back
But I can't take another gone like that
Now she's walking in my direction
I might be lonely and this is tempting
Oh, now I can't take another gone like that
Take another hurt so bad
I can't breathe
I can't sleep, can't even eat
No, I won't take another where'd she go
Can't take another all alone
Man, I want her back
But I can't take another gone
Yes, sometimes I want her back
But I can't take another gone like that
Can't take another gone like that
I can't take another gone
