Gone Before I Got Here

GONE BEFORE I GOT HERE Mackenzie O'Brien, Chad Wilson, Brent Baxter VERSE 1: Thought you had me under your thumb A text thread of hope and I'd come runnin' Now you're sitting there smug like there's no doubt You'll work your charm till we work it out PRE: If that's what you're thinking, think again Cuz I checked out before I walked in CHORUS: I was gone before I got here Moved on before tonight We burned out before the smoke cleared Can't light ( a / the same )  match twice I let go, so you can't hold me Like a ghost of your past life I was gone before I got here Just came to say goodbye VERSE 2: Hey, boy just had to have this face to face To watch your friends watch you get put in your place There's no way for you to try and spin it Don't get started, it's already ended CHORUS PRE: (So) Don't bother trying to get me to stay These high heels have already walked away CHORUS There's no way for you to try to spin this around Like I will - on high heels - as I'm walking out No way to lie or spin it up as a win No way for you to spin it up as win Not gonna let your ego spin it away It's time to face the truth face to face Thought you had me under your thumb A text thread of hope and I'd show up A text thread of hope (that) I'd hang from A text thread of hope you could hang me from A single sweet text and I'd come runnin' I let go, so don't you hold me I'm a ghost, you can't hold me I'm a ghost getting on with life Like a ghost, I'm outta sight  / Blew out before the smoke cleared I let go, so you can't hold me Cut it off before Cut ties before Moved on before (I walked in / tonight) Can't light the same match again Won't fall for your sweet talkin (again?) I was gone before I got here I just came to say goodbye I was out before I walked in You put me on a pedestal just to throw me off  But our last fight was all I could take  You embarrassed me
