Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Numb me down to the core
Cause love don't live here anymore
And we fought hard but we lost the war
Without you, what am I living for?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I can't take back all the things I did
But if I had one wish, I would wish for one more chance
Somewhere our fear took all control
That's when I turned cold
Won't you give me one more chance?
[Chorus]
Cause I'm a lost river that'll never reach the sea
When you're not here with me, when you're gone
I'm sick to my bones, I don't feel natural
Without you I'm not whole, when you're gone
[Post-Chorus]
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
[Verse 2]
Drove to your house in the night
Couldn't sleep 'til I made it right
I'm sorry for all the pain
For lovin' you in vain
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I can't take back all the things I did
But if I had one wish, I would wish for one more chance
Somewhere fear took all control
And that's when I turned cold
Won't you give me one more chance?
[Chorus]
Cause I'm a lost river that'll never reach the sea
When you're not here with me, when you're gone
I'm sick to my bones, I don't feel natural
Without you I'm not whole, when you're gone
[Bridge]
So I'm leaving my light on
In hopes that you will find your way
And make it safely home
And in the eye of the storm
Our love will be the only thing
That keeps us holding on
[Chorus]
I'm a lost river that'll never reach the sea
When you're not here with me, when you're gone
I'm sick to my bones, I don't feel natural
Without you I'm not whole, when you're gone
[Post-Chorus]
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
