When It's Gone

from 2014 by Phil McMillion

/

lyrics

i used to be an important guy
had all the answers, didn't need to cry.
but then one day, someone took it all away
left me busted, with nothing to say
except 'why is this happening to me?'
all my dreams washed to the sea

i met a girl who sang the blues,
was down and out, she'd paid her dues.
tried to give her some love 'n tender care.
but a hardened glance, 'n a callous stare,
said 'what do you think you can do?
i've seen this act through and through'

what cha gonna do when its gone?
will you still be singing the same old song?
are ya gonna wonder what went wrong?
when its gone, when its gone, when its gone

life is a struggle, i must confess
but the struggle is life, its not a test
you can't give up, it just ain't allowed.
if you break down, you're pushed to the ground
so just keep plugging away
you'll die soon enough one of these days

what cha gonna do when its gone?
will you still be singing the same old song?
are ya gonna wonder what went wrong?
when its gone, when its gone, when its gone
