"Gone In Seconds" lyrics

Sleep with the tv on so I'm not alone
Sober and needy in a motel room
Why did she leave me?
What did she mean when she said, "gotta go"?

Over caffeinated, chewing my cheeks
Been oversaturated, manic for weeks
Have I eliminated any chance I had for relief?
Yeah

And isn't it true?
I always reminded you of your mom?
And isn't it true?
We don't get to be young for that long?

I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that
An infinity was gone in seconds
Gone in seconds

You were on your own by seventeen
Went through a dozen winters with no heat
It's hard to fathom all the life you gathered before me, yeah

And you can count the rings on the wood without cutting down the tree
Measuring the weight of the way you lived by what you mean to me

Yeah I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that
An infinity was gone in seconds
Gone in seconds

Yeah I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that
An infinity was gone in seconds
Gone in seconds

Sitting in your living room, playing cards
Queen of hearts
There's nothing I would rather do
Than be with you forever
But I know I'll be losing you to the dark
'Cause nothing lasts forever

Yeah I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that

Gone in seconds
Gone in seconds

Yeah I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that
An infinity was gone in seconds
Gone in seconds
