Too Far Gone
(Billy Sherrill)

[I can tell that] // somewhere there's someone you love more than me
Someone you love more than me
And it hurts me to say it, but you've got the right to be free
I know that's the way it should be

But I'm too far gone
I'm too far gone
I've loved you too much for too long
And I'm too far gone

Now, if ever your new love should hurt you or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Just remember, your old love will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you

But I'm too far gone
I'm too far gone
I've loved you too much for too long
And I'm too far gone

I've loved you too much for too long
And I'm too far gone

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Too Far Gone
(Billy Sherrill)

I can tell that somewhere there's someone you love more than me
Someone you love more than me
And it hurts to say it, but you have the right to be free
I know that's the way it should be

My friends would console me by saying go find someone new
Go out and find someone new
But the longer I try, the harder I cry over you
I go home and cry over you

'Cause I'm too far gone, too far gone
I guess I've loved you too much for too long
And I'm too far gone

If ever your new love should hurt you or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Remember, your old love will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you

'Cause I'm too far gone, too far gone
I've loved you too much for so long
I'm too far gone
