Gone Too Soon Lyrics
Hey there now
Where'd you go?
You left me here
So unexpected
You changed my life
I hope you know
'Cause now I'm lost
So unprotected
In the blink of an eye
I never got to say goodbye
Like a shooting star
Flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon
You're a part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon
You were always there
Like a shining light
On my darkest days
You were there to guide me
Oh, I miss you now
I wish you could see
Just how much your memory
Will always mean to me
In the blink of an eye
I never got to say goodbye
Like a shooting star
Flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon
You're a part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon
Shine on, shine on
On to a better place
Shine on, shine on
We'll never be the same
Shine on, shine on
Like a shooting star
Flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon
You're a part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon
(Shine on, shine on)
You were gone too soon
(Shine on, shine on)
You were gone too soon
Where'd you go?
You left me here
So unexpected
You changed my life
I hope you know
'Cause now I'm lost
So unprotected
I never got to say goodbye
Flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon
You're a part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon
Like a shining light
On my darkest days
You were there to guide me
Oh, I miss you now
I wish you could see
Just how much your memory
Will always mean to me
I never got to say goodbye
Flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon
You're a part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon
On to a better place
Shine on, shine on
We'll never be the same
Shine on, shine on
Flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon
You're a part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon
(Shine on, shine on)
You were gone too soon
(Shine on, shine on)
You were gone too soon

this song is very special to me and it's the best song on their new album. i love it ! <3
This song reminds me of my Mom <3 Helping me heal.
Basically an important person in his life is no longer in his life. This significant other or family member has either died or cut ties with the singer
The band have said this song was inspired by all of the young artists/celebrity who died around the time it was written. By suicide, drugs etc However they love how it's so neutral and you can apply it to anyone. I fell in love with song when I lost my cat Indy in 2014 then in my mum past away in 2015 so had a more prominent meaning ❤❤
It could be about a pet Dog or cat that he once had or had just lost . Animal Grieving can be as Raw as if it's a person , just that for some cat / dog grief doesn't last anything like as long .
This song was so incredibly helpful to my family as my sister passed unexpectedly at a young age. We played it at her memorial in her honor. Thank you for writing and recording this beautiful song!
