“She’s Gone (An Elegy)”
VERSE 1
She used to see the good in everyone
But all of that has been undone
She thought her life had been so blessed
This girl we’re layin’ down to rest
PRE-CHORUS
Gone too soon
CHORUS
Never thought I’d have to say goodbye
Always thought we’d have a bit more time
The world has a little less light
Now that she’s gone
VERSE 2
You told her lies, messed with her mind
She once could see but now she’s blind
She fought to be believed
But people in the church would rather be deceived
PRE-CHORUS
Gone too soon
CHORUS
Never thought I’d have to say goodbye
Always thought we’d have a bit more time
The world has a little less light
Now that she’s gone
And she’s gone
BRIDGE
She hated religion of the Pharisees
Twisting everything so they don’t have to change
Half-truths and whole lies spinning at the same time
You never have to lose if you rig the game
DOWN CHORUS
Never thought I’d have to say goodbye
Always thought we’d have a bit more time
The world has a little less light
Now that she’s gone
CHORUS
Never thought I’d have to say goodbye
Always thought we’d have a bit more time
The world has a little less light
Now that she’s gone
And she’s gone
Oh
She’s gone
Oh
She’s gone
VERSE 3
To be human is to die
But I’m alive just dead inside
This will be my elegy
Rest in peace to the old me
