Good Thing Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Never wanted to let you down
Never wanted us to fight
Oh, sweet love of mine
I guess this is goodbye to you and I

[Verse 2]
Time is a stubborn affair
The distance was too much to bear
Oh, with a heavy heart
I must leave the one I love

[Chorus]
We could've tried a bit harder, mhm
I could've practiced more patience, mhm
Look at this good love we've wasted, uh-huh
Another good thing gone

[Verse 3]
Neither one of us is wrong
Neither one of us is right
I never fully had faith, you see
'Cause I always knew you'd fall out of love with me

[Chorus]
We could've tried a bit harder, mhm
I could've practiced more patience, mhm
Look at this good love we've wasted, uh-huh
Another good thing gone

[Bridge]
So why should I change
If love always ends this way?
You couldn't put down that last drink
I couldn't get that shit past me

[Chorus]
We could've tried a bit harder, mhm
But I just ain't got that much patience, uh-uh
Look at this good love we've wasted, uh-huh
Another good thing gone
Another good thing gone

[Outro]
What a shame
Another good thing gone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
