If I opened your heart like a letter
What would the words say there on the page?
If I said to you, "Where's all this going?"
Would you say nothing then just turn away?

Through your smile I can see that you're hurting
And I know we've got mountains to climb
But God knows that we're not bad people
We're just going through a really bad time

If you're gone before you go
Leave me fast or love me slow
Don't let me be the last to know
If you're gone before you go

If there's a place in your heart that you're keeping
Don't tell me you found someone else
Just keep your new life a secret
You found heaven while I found hell

If you leave here without even trying
Tryna pick all these pieces off the floor
Knowing it'll never work
If we can't heal that hurt
If you've got your eyes on the door

If you're gone before you go
Leave me fast or love me slow
Don't let me be the last to know
If you're gone before you go

If you're gone before you go

If you're gone before you go
If you're gone before you go
Leave me fast or love me slow
Don't let me be the last to know
If you're gone before you, gone before you–

If you're gone before you go
Leave me fast or love me slow
Don't let me be the last to know
If you're gone before you go

If you're gone before you go

If you're gone before you, gone before you go
