Gone 2 Long Lyrics
[Intro: Brandon]
Don't you give your heart away so easily
That would be the end of a beautiful story
Don’t you give your heart away so easily
That would be the end of (PRETTYMUCH, PRETTYMUCH) a beautiful story (Ayy)
[Verse 1: Nick]
I know that it's wrong, keeps me up all night
I'm telling me lies, sayin’ I'm alright
I look in the mirror, don't see no tough guy
But I'll be fine
[Pre-Chorus: Edwin & Nick]
Girl, you know that I need you
Baby, I'll keep you around (Need you around)
Give me a reason
Baby, I need ya right now
My love, you can keep it
This ain't no secret, no-no
The only thing I ask
[Chorus: Zion & Nick]
Promise me you won't be gone too long, my dear
Promise me you won't belong anywhere else but here, with me
Baby, I need ya, I need ya, I do
I can’t find my love anywhere without you
So don’t be gone too long, my dear (Oh-oh)
[Verse 2: Austin & Nick]
Sick of the phone, sick of the FaceTime
We try and we try, but we never make time
Girl, it's getting old, don’t mean to haywire (Haywire)
But I'll be fine, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Edwin & Nick]
Girl, you know that I need you
Baby, I'll keep you around (Around)
Give me a reason
Baby, I need ya right now (Need you right now)
My love, you can keep it
This ain't no secret, no-no
The only thing I ask
[Chorus: Zion, Nick & (Edwin)]
Promise me you won’t be gone too long, my dear (Dear)
Promise me you won't belong anywhere else but here (But here), with me
Baby, I need ya, I need ya, I do
I can't find my love anywhere without you (You, you)
So don't be gone too long, my dear
[Outro: Brandon & Nick]
Promise me you won't be gone (Gone)
(Don't you give your heart away so easily)
(That would be the end of a beautiful story)
Promise me you won't be gone (Gone)
Baby, you'll be gone
(Don't you give your heart away so easily)
(That would be the end of a beautiful story)
Promise me you won't be gone (Gone)
Yeah, baby
Baby, gone too long
(Don't you give your heart away so easily)
Too long, I know, I know
(That would be the end of a beautiful story)
(Don't you give your heart away so easily)
(That would be the end of a beautiful story)
Gone too long, my dear
