Too Far Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I woke up you were gone
And the sun was on the lawn
Empty pillow with perfume on
I smelled it
We met in my favorite bar
And we drove in my favorite car
But I don't know how we made it home

[Chorus]
Was I too far gone?
Too far gone
Too far gone for you

[Verse 2]
We had drugs and we had booze
But we still had somethin' to lose
And by dawn I wanted to marry you
With our attitudes by day
And our secret dreams by night
Can we really live a life that way?

[Chorus]
Am I too far gone?
Too far gone
Too far gone for you
Too far gone for you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
