Harnol Slin - You're Gone Lyrics

There's a kid I sometimes see that wasn't born
Didn't learn to ride a bike
Or how to heal a broken heart
A child that had no gain of memories
Forever spared from pain and wonder
And Having not known what was missed

I'm Sorry Mom and Dad
I know this isn't what you planned
But you left it up to me
& that is that
I didn't mean to let you down
I never meant to let you down
Just didn't feel I could've bought a kid a chance
Plus, this World seems like no great inheritance

We could be out in the yard
Playing catch until darkness falls on me
And I'm fast asleep
& Dreaming of you
And the things that we'd do
When I can find the time
But I can't find the time
Then I wake
And you're gone
Yeah, you're gone
You're gone
Oh, you're gone

I didn't mean to let you down
I never meant to let you down
Just didn't feel I could've bought a kid a chance
Plus, this World seems like no great inheritance

In some other place you're living out your dreams
With hopes of showing me what you've achieved
& slowly I'll get old and fade away
And there'll be no one there to see me on my way
No clinging sadness, or need to celebrate
In the end we'll all become the same
Those of us that lived
And those that never did
