Gone by Dawn Lyrics

(Robert Byrne/Phil Vassar/Julie Wood)

So much for finishing what we started
Don't take it personal when I'm not brokenhearted
I've had enough, I'll sleep you off
Your memory ain't so tough
Right now I'm hurtin'
But one thing's for certain you'll be
Gone by dawn, out of my way
Out of my heart, out of my face
Into my past, out of my hair
Off of my mind, into thin air
And I might just cry all night long
But you'll be gone by dawn

Who cares if this'll mean starting over
I swear tonight I'm gonna shrug you off my shoulders
We made mistakes, hey that's the breaks
But now for heaven's sakes
Now don't you worry 'bout me
I'll be fine and you'll be
Gone by dawn, out of my way
Out of my heart, out of my face
Into my past, out of my hair
Off of my mind, into thin air
And I might just cry all night long
But you'll be gone by dawn
I'll be out of my misery
You'll just be ancient history
I'll be back on my feet yeah

Now don't you worry 'bout me
I'll be fine and you'll be

Gone by dawn, out of my way
Out of my heart, out of my face
Into my past, out of my hair
Off of my mind, into thin air
And I might just cry all night long
But you'll be gone by dawn
