In "already gone," Christian French wrestles with a love that has quietly expired, admitting he stayed long past the moment he knew it was over. The warmth they once shared has turned cold, and staying would only mean pretending through smoke and mirrors. He dreads hurting his partner, yet the clearest path is out of the maze they have built together. The song lands in that painful space where leaving is not betrayal but honesty, and the kindest goodbye still breaks both hearts.
already gone Lyrics by Christian French
They say you know, when you know, when you know
And I haven’t know
For way too long, way too long
Love it will grow, it will grow
‘Til it don’t, then it all gets cold
Now we’re dragging along, singing the same old song
I don’t wanna break your heart
Hope you know it breaks mine too
Reminiscing ’bout the start
Look at where it led us to
Tryna make the word goodbye
Painted all the blacks and blues
Swear I didn’t mean to move on
But I’m already gone, already gone
Out of this maze is the only thing I see clear
And if I stay it will only be smoke and mirrors
Yeah I’m already gone, already gone
Losing this war in between loving and fear
What’s it all for, what the hell are we doing here?
If I’m already gone
Looking for an alibi
Place and a reason why, one more day and one more try
Guess I’m good at long goodbyes
Couldn’t picture life without you
Now I find that it’s all that I do
So you go your way, I’ll go mine
Maybe somewhere down the line
We could put the past behind
Hand it up and get it right
But here and now it’s too hard to do
Something that I just can’t see through
Cause I’m already gone, already gone
Out of this maze is the only thing I see clear
And if I stay it will only be smoke and mirrors
Yeah I’m already gone, already gone
Losing this war in between loving and fear
What’s it all for, what the hell are we doing here?
If I’m already gone
Already gone, if I’m already gone
Already gone
I don’t wanna break your heart
Hope you know it breaks mine too
Reminiscing ’bout the start
Look at where it led us to
Tryna make the word goodbye
Painted all the blacks and blues
Swear I didn’t mean to move on
But I’m already gone, already gone
Out of this maze is the only thing I see clear
And if I stay it will only be smoke and mirrors
Yeah I’m already gone, already gone
Losing this war in between loving and fear
What’s it all for, what the hell are we doing here?
If I’m already gone
