Lyrics of GONE by NF, Julia Michaels
Show performers
verse
NF
Always saw my glass as half empty, it was never full
You were always passive, and I was irresponsible
Didn′t have a chance, but we were scared to let things go
Young, in love, broken hearts, holdin' on to our false hope
Had your whole life planned out, I had no clue who I was
Gave it all we had, but guess our all wasn′t enough
Wonder where you're at now, did you ever find the one?
Hope you're out there somewhere happy, sometimes I think of you
pre-chorus
NF
(Ooh-ooh) yeah, and it makes me sad
(Ooh-ooh) mhm, yeah, the way you left
(Ooh-ooh), but I′m glad you did
It was for the best
chorus
NF
I pray someday you′ll find yourself
Somehow, some way, with someone else
Don't wait, it′s too late to keep holding on
Yeah, I'm already gone
hook
NF

verse
Julia Michaels
Yeah, I could blame us breakin′ up on being too young, on being too dumb
On being too caught up on past dramas, but the truth is
We just weren't right, we planned our whole life when we both knew
We should have just ended on the first night
And I know if I would have stayed with you
I would have been down on luck, and done with love
And done too much to make you stay second-guessing, and resenting
All the love I could have gave to someone else
Got carpal tunnel from holdin′ on to what we once felt
bridge
Julia Michaels
I'm happy for you, I am
Yeah, don't get me wrong, I am
And once in a while, it′s true
I think about you too
Yeah, I do
I think about you too

It was for the best
(yeah, yeah, oh)
