[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

Oh, oh, oh

If you're gone before you go

Oh, oh, oh

If you're gone before you go

[Chorus]

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

Oh, oh, oh

If you're gone before you go

Oh, oh, oh

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