one day you're gone

Ooh, ooh

One day you're here and one day you're gone

You beat to the drum but you keep movin' on

Ain't nobody knows when the next name's called

'Cause one day you're here and one day you're gone

So I got on the phone and I talked to my mom

She said, "There's only a few things you can control

Like the will of your heart and the peace of your mind

There's only so much you can see with your eyes"

But, oh, oh, oh-oh, sometimes it's hard to put in words

(Oh, oh, oh-oh) nobody knows the way it hurts

(Oh, oh, oh-oh) broken bones, you live and learn, mm

(Ooh, ooh, oh)

'Cause we don't know that a good thing ends

But someday I hope that it'll all make sense

The table for us was the first time we talked

Before we took a path that split both us apart

Only a matter of years 'til you're off in the stars

'Cause one day you're here and one day you're gone

(Oh, oh, oh-oh) sometimes it's hard to put in words

(Oh, oh, oh-oh) nobody knows the way it hurts

(Oh, oh, oh-oh) broken bones, you live and learn

Mm (ooh), mm (ooh)

'Cause we don't know that a good thing ends

But someday I hope that it'll all make sense

Ooh-ooh, oh

One day you're here and one day you're gone
