(written by don schlitz and terry radigan)

Ive played it over in my head
Thought about the words you said
Laid awake in my bed
Its gone, gone, gone

Ive tried to make it make some sense
How it came and how it went
Its still the same damn consequence
Its gone, gone, gone

Love shouldnt lie to me
Love couldnt lie to me
Love wouldnt lie to me
But it did

People come and people go
I put on a real good show
How I do it, I dont know
Its gone, gone, gone

Its all hanging by a thread
I try to see a day ahead
I only see the past instead
Its gone, gone, gone

Love shouldnt lie to me
Love couldnt lie to me
Love wouldnt lie to me
But it did

And though
I know
Ill survive

Love shouldnt lie to me
Love couldnt lie to me
Love wouldnt lie to me
But it did
But it did
