Mackenzie O'brien - Gone Before I Got Here Lyrics

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
