Gone
Bebe Rexha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause love don't live here anymore
And we fought hard but we lost the war
Without you, what am I living for?
And I know I can't take back, all the things are dead
But if I had one wish, I would wish for one more chance
That's when I turned cold
Won't you give me one more chance?
Cause I'm a lost river that'll never reach the sea
When you're not here with me, when you're gone
I'm sick to my bones, I don't feel natural
Without you I'm not whole, when you're gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Drove to your house in the night
Couldn't sleep 'til I made it right
I'm sorry for all the pain
For lovin' you in vain
And I know I can't take back, all the things are dead
But if I had one wish, I would wish for one more chance
Cause I'm a lost river that'll never reach the sea
When you're not here with me, when you're gone
I'm sick to my bones, I don't feel natural
Without you I'm not whole, when you're gone
So I'll leave the night light on
In hopes that you will find your way
And make it, safely home
And in the eye of the storm
Our love will be the only thing
That keeps us holding on
Cause I'm a lost river that'll never reach the sea
When you're not here with me, when you're gone
I'm sick to my bones, I don't feel natural
Without you I'm not whole, when you're gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
In the song "Gone" by Bebe Rexha, the singer talks about the pain and emptiness she feels after a breakup. The lyrics describe a sense of numbness that has taken over her core since the love she once had is now gone. Despite the efforts made to try and save the relationship, the war was lost and she is now left alone fighting for a purpose. The lyrics also suggest the singer's regret and the inability to make things right as she would wish to have another chance with the person who left her.
The chorus of the song reiterates the emptiness she feels without her former lover, describing herself as a lost river that can never reach the sea without the person by her side. She feels sick at the thought of not having the person close by and cannot function naturally without their presence. In the bridge, she expresses hope that the love they once had will be the only thing that can keep them going and provide the comfort they need.
This song is a powerful expression of heartbreak and the sadness that comes when love ends. It's a reminder that even though love can be lost, it doesn't mean the memories and the pain will go away. The emotions and regrets are real and sometimes it's impossible to move forward when a relationship ends.
Line by Line Meaning
Numb me down to the core
Make me feel nothing at all
Cause love don't live here anymore
Love has left and is no longer present
And we fought hard but we lost the war
We tried our best, but ultimately failed
Without you, what am I living for?
I don't have a purpose or reason for living without you
And I know I can't take back, all the things are dead
I can't undo the things that have been done
But if I had one wish, I would wish for one more chance
If I could change one thing, it would be to have another opportunity
Somewhere our fear took all control
Our fears consumed us and took over
That's when I turned cold
I became distant and unemotional
Won't you give me one more chance?
Can't you forgive me and give me another chance?
Cause I'm a lost river that'll never reach the sea
I'm directionless and will never find my destination without you
When you're not here with me, when you're gone
I feel incomplete and lost without you
I'm sick to my bones, I don't feel natural
I feel physically and mentally unwell without you
Without you I'm not whole, when you're gone
I'm missing a part of myself without you
Drove to your house in the night
I went to your house late at night
Couldn't sleep 'til I made it right
I couldn't rest until I fixed things between us
I'm sorry for all the pain
I'm apologizing for hurting you
For lovin' you in vain
For having feelings that were not reciprocated
So I'll leave the night light on
I'll keep a light on, hoping you'll come back
In hopes that you will find your way
It's my wish that you'll be able to make it back
And make it, safely home
And arrive home without any issues
And in the eye of the storm
During the difficult times
Our love will be the only thing
Our love will be the only constant and stable thing
That keeps us holding on
That keeps us from giving up
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Reinforcing the idea that you're gone
Gone, gone, gone
Again, emphasizing that you're gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
One final time, driving home the point that you're gone
