First it was a few hours… Gone
Then a few days…. Gone
Now can’t remember the last time I called your name.
First it was a few missed calls…. Gone
Then a few messages lost … Gone
Can’t believe you are gone… feeling so alone

Chance after chance you gave me
I know I took it for granted
Silly laughs when you caught me
Didn’t even panic
Knew that you loved me
more than you loved yourself
I could say, do anything
And never worried about anyone else
But now, I can’t find you
Now, don’t know what to do
I need to talk to you?

First it was a few hours… Gone
Then a few days…. Gone
Now can’t remember the last time I called your name.
First it was a few missed calls…. Gone
Then a few messages lost … Gone
Can’t believe you are gone… feeling so alone

That look on your face was priceless,
not in a good way
You were tired of being tired
You looked at me so differently
For the very first time you looked free
No longer was I the love in your eyes
Trying to explain my case
Disbelief in my cries
Are you even listening to a word I say
This same speech worked before
But now it feels like lost you

First it was a few hours… Gone
Then a few days…. Gone
Now can’t remember the last time I called your name.
First it was a few missed calls…. Gone
Then a few messages lost … Gone
Can’t believe you are gone… feeling so alone

I’m trying….
I’m crying…
Just want to remind you,
About the beautiful mornings
Those long nights
The power of me and you
Don’t leave, please, please
I finally understand
Without you I’m just a shadow of a man
What can I do, to please you?
Need you to know how much I love you

First it was a few hours… Gone
Then a few days…. Gone
Now can’t remember the last time I called your name.
First it was a few missed calls…. Gone
Then a few messages lost … Gone
Can’t believe you are gone… feeling so alone

Calling your momma house
Your grandmom too
Nobody is helping me tryna find you
Waiting at your townhouse
All day at your job
Now I’m filled with so many doubts
Afraid to lose you
Trying to do anything
Just to see you
Please answer that ring
Sweet baby I miss you

First it was a few hours… Gone
Then a few days…. Gone
Now can’t remember the last time I called your name.
First it was a few missed calls…. Gone
Then a few messages lost … Gone
Can’t believe you are gone… feeling so alone
