On the soul-rock ballad “Good Thing Gone,” American singer Elle King feels the pain in goodbye.
The song draws from vintage southern soul, and serves as the first promo single from King’s second studio album, Shake The Spirit due out in October.
For the first time in her career, King takes on prod...
[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, mhm
I could've practiced more patience, mhm
Look at this good love we've wasted, uh-huh
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, mhm
I could've practiced more patience, mhm
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?
You couldn't put down that last drink
I couldn't get that shit past me
[Chorus]
We could've tried a bit harder, mhm
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
Another good thing gone
[Outro]
What a shame
Another good thing gone
