Someone Already Gone Lyrics

The mirror don't lie, but I look away,

A face I know, but it ain't the same.

Wore that old jacket you used to love,

Thought maybe it'd bring me close enough.

But it don't fit right, sleeves hang too low,

Like the past I can't outgrow.

The me I left behind still calls my name,

A shadow that won't fade away.

I reach, but I can't hold on,

To someone already gone.

Drove past the house where we used to stay,

Slowed down, but I couldn't stay.

Saw new lights shining through the blinds,

Like time moved on and left me behind.

The me I left behind still calls my name,

A shadow that won't fade away.

I reach, but I can't hold on,

To someone already gone.

Found your note in a box last night,

Folded neat, edges worn with time.

Couldn't read past the second line,

Some things ain't meant to rewind.

The me I left behind still calls my name,

A shadow that won't fade away.

I reach, but I can't hold on,

To someone already gone.

Took off that jacket, set it down,

Feels like shedding what I've outgrown now.

A breath I held too long escapes,

Maybe I'm ready to turn the page.

The me I left behind, I set her free,

Maybe that's who I'm meant to be.
