Now You're Gone
Tom Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, all the battles that I've won
They don't matter now you're gone
Nothing matters now you're gone
Oh, all the battles that I've won
They don't matter now you're gone
Nothing matters now you're gone

I said, "I'm down with you"
But I can't help it when I lay down, still think of you
Keeps me awake at night and
Why do I let it get so far?
How did we end with broken hearts?
How did we end with broken hearts?
Broken hearts

So was it really worth it?
Caught in the moment while we burn it down
No one's perfect
Try to connect and we turn it 'round
Well, I'm over this game
No one's taken the blame
So was it really worth it?
Was it really worth it?

Everything we've been criticizin'
Well, I don't wanna live like that
Overthinking and analyzing
Never gonna take it back
I thought I was winning but I was dying
Everything we never had
Losing you is what I want fighting

Oh, all the battles that I've won
They don't matter now you're gone
Nothing matters now you're gone
Oh, all the battles that I've won
They don't matter now you're gone
Nothing matters now you're gone

Well, you said you hated me
Tried to forget but it stays with me
What scares me is when I'm locked up, got me feeling free
Does it come from the heart?
Words cut deep, cut deeper than scars
Thought that you were perfect
Was it really worth it?

Everything we've been criticizin'
Well, I don't wanna live like that
Overthinking and analyzing
Never gonna take it back
I thought I was winning but I was dying
Everything we never had
Losing you is what I want fighting

Oh, all the battles that I've won
They don't matter now you're gone
Nothing matters now you're gone
Oh, all the battles that I've won
They don't matter now you're gone
Nothing matters now you're gone

I'm too proud to call you
But I'm still thinking of you
Oh, I think I love you (ah)
I'm too proud to call you
But I'm still thinking of you
Oh, I think I love you (ah)
I'm too proud to call you
But I'm still thinking of you
Oh, I think I love you (ah)
I'm too proud to call you
But I'm still thinking of you
Oh, I think I love you (ah)

Oh, all the battles that I've won
They don't matter now you're gone
Nothing matters now you're gone
Oh, all the battles that I've won




They don't matter now you're gone
Nothing matters now you're gone

The singer has been overthinking and analyzing everything, but he can never undo the mistakes that cost him his relationship. He realizes too late that he was not winning the battle; he was slowly losing what he had with his partner. The final verse acknowledges that the pain caused by the person he loved never goes away. He thought he was over her, but even the small things like a word or a memory stir up emotions and the singer can't help but consider calling her again. Overall, "Now You're Gone" is a poignant exploration of the aftermath of failed love.
