(Robert Byrne/Phil Vassar/Julie Wood)



So much for finishing what we started

Don't take it personal when I'm not brokenhearted

I've had enough, I'll sleep you off

Your memory ain't so tough

Right now I'm hurtin'

But one thing's for certain you'll be



Gone by dawn, out of my way

Out of my heart, out of my face

Into my past, out of my hair

Off of my mind, into thin air

And I might just cry all night long

But you'll be gone by dawn



Who cares if this'll mean starting over

I swear tonight I'm gonna shrug you off my shoulders

We made mistakes, hey that's the breaks

But now for heaven's sakes

Now don't you worry 'bout me

I'll be fine and you'll be



Gone by dawn, out of my way

Out of my heart, out of my face

Into my past, out of my hair

Off of my mind, into thin air

And I might just cry all night long

But you'll be gone by dawn



I'll be out of my misery

You'll just be ancient history

I'll be back on my feet yeah



Now don't you worry 'bout me

I'll be fine and you'll be



Gone by dawn, out of my way

Out of my heart, out of my face

Into my past, out of my hair

Off of my mind, into thin air

And I might just cry all night long

But you'll be gone by dawn
