In "Gone," Paloma Faith mourns a loss so deep that dreams become the only place to reach the departed, only to wake and find empty darkness. The ache is measured not in time but in the impossibility of forgetting, as unsent letters pretend tomorrow still exists. Keeping a piece of the loved one in her heart is both comfort and wound, a bond that can never come undone. The song lingers in that bittersweet space where love outlasts absence and grief refuses to fade.
Gone Lyrics by Paloma Faith
Cut to a movie scene
To what could’ve been
I can’t keep it from fading
Now my mind wants to lie to me
Won’t go quietly
Feels like everything’s changing
Ain’t it bittersweet
The hardest goodbye
Wish we had more time
Saw you in my dreams
I reach out in the dead of the night but you’re not there
And I miss you now you’re gone
Too much to measure
And the time keeps rolling on
But I can’t forget ya
So I keep a piece of you in my heart that can never come undone
Cause I miss you now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
Gone, gone, gone
Now you’re gone
Gone
Gone
Writing letters I’ll never send
Just let me pretend
That we still have tomorrow
You know I would give anything
Take me back again
One sign and I’ll follow
Ain’t it bittersweet
The hardest goodbye
Wish we had more time
Saw you in my dreams
I reach out in the dead of the night but you’re not there
And I miss you now you’re gone
Too much to measure
And the time keeps rolling on
But I can’t forget ya
So I keep a piece of you in my heart that can never come undone
Cause I miss you now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
Gone, gone, gone
Now you’re gone
Gone
Gone
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
