Good Thing Gone Lyrics by Elle King

Shake the Spirit

2018

[Verse 1]
I never wanted to let you down
I never wanted us to fight
Oh, sweet love of mine
I guess this is goodbye to you and I
[Verse 2]
Time is a stubborn affair
The distance was too much to bear
Oh, with a heavy heart
I must leave the one I love
[Chorus]
We could've tried a bit harder, mm-hmm
I could've practiced more patience, mm-hmm
Look at this good love we've wasted, mm-hmm
Another good thing gone
[Verse 3]
Neither one of us is wrong
Neither one of us is right
I never fully had faith, you see
'Cause I always knew you'd fall out of love with me
[Chorus]
We could've tried a bit harder, mm-hmm
I could've practiced more patience, mm-hmm
Look at this good love we've wasted, uh-huh
Another good thing gone
[Bridge]
So why should I change
If love always ends this way?
[Interlude]
You couldn't put down that last drink
I couldn't get that shit past me
[Chorus]
We could've tried a bit harder, mm-hmm
But I just ain't got that much patience, uh-uh
Look at this good love we've wasted, uh-huh
Another good thing gone
[Outro]
Another good thing gone
What a shame
Another good thing gone
