Dead and Gone (The Trouble Cover) Lyrics

All things lost, nothing gained
Every passing day intensifies my pain
I look towards tomorrow
Yet cling to yesterday
Hoping sometime I'll find my way

All things lost, nothing gained
Every passing day intensifies my pain
I look towards tomorrow
Yet cling to yesterday
Hoping someday I'll find my way

Each day a reminder of my mistakes
Each day a reminder of what it takes
Nothing to look forward to from what I can see
The old days ended too soon for me

Each day a reminder of my mistakes
Each day a reminder of what it takes
Each day a reminder of my mistakes
Each day a reminder of what it takes
Each day a reminder of my mistakes
Each day a reminder of what it takes
Each day a reminder of my mistakes
Each day a reminder of what it takes
Each day a reminder of my mistakes
Each day a reminder of what it takes
Each day a reminder of my mistakes
Each day a reminder of what it takes
Each day a reminder of my mistakes
Each day a reminder of what it takes
Each day a reminder of my mistakes
Each day a reminder of what it takes

Farewell

am/pm

There's A Black Hole In The Shadow Of The Pru

Shoplifting In A Ghost Town

Fuck What Fireworks Stand For

All things lost, nothing gained 
Every passing day intensifies my pain 
I look towards tomorrow 
Yet cling to yesterday 
Hoping sometime I'll find my way

All things lost, nothing gained 
Every passing day intensifies my pain 
I look towards tomorrow 
Yet cling to yesterday 
Hoping someday I'll find my way

Each day a reminder of my mistakes 
Each day a reminder of what it takes 
Nothing to look forward to from what I can see 
The old days ended too soon for me

Each day a reminder of my mistakes 
Each day a reminder of what it takes 
Each day a reminder of my mistakes 
Each day a reminder of what it takes 
Each day a reminder of my mistakes 
Each day a reminder of what it takes 
Each day a reminder of my mistakes 
Each day a reminder of what it takes 
Each day a reminder of my mistakes 
Each day a reminder of what it takes 
Each day a reminder of my mistakes 
Each day a reminder of what it takes 
Each day a reminder of my mistakes 
Each day a reminder of what it takes 
Each day a reminder of my mistakes 
Each day a reminder of what it takes

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.

Why hasn't anybody written anything here yet? This song is so awesome. I'm not really sure, but If I had to guess, I'd say its basically a song about completly fucking up your life and not getting another chance and you have have to live with the mistakes you've made in the past.

I think it's important because we actually get to hear what Wes' normal voice sounds like.
