## Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Este, *Este & Danielle*]**

And I got back up when I lost control

Over it all, over it all

And I knew that I couldn't take no more

'Cause I want it all, I want it all

All the times I've said it, all the times I've said it before

Those days are gone

'Cause you didn't know how, *and I know that now*

I want it all, I want it all

**[Chorus: Danielle, *All*]**

Felt like I was walking on a tight rope

*Those days are gone, those days are gone*

Sometimes I wish I didn't miss you at all

*Those days are gone*

*Holding on, holding on, holding on*

*Those days are gone*

And now I'm waiting for the day to dawn

*Those days are gone*

**[Verse 2: Este, *Este & Danielle*]**

I remember when you found it hard to give

But I gave it all, I gave you my all

You only took one side when all my hopes ran dry

Those dreams are gone, gone all along

All the times I said it, all the times I've said it before

I'm moving on

You can have my past, *I'll never get that back*

I'm moving on, 'cause those days are gone

**[Chorus: Danielle, *All*]**

Felt like I was walking on a tight rope

*Those days are gone, those days are gone*

Sometimes I wish I didn't miss you at all

*Those days are gone*

*Holding on, holding on, holding on*

*Those days are gone*

And now I'm waiting for the day to dawn

*Those days are gone*

**[Bridge: Danielle, *Este & Alana*,** All**]**

Days are gone, days are gone (Ha)

Days are gone, days are gone (Ha)

*All my love that I can't hide*

*All my love now* **you can't find it**

Days are gone, days are gone (Ha)

Days are gone, days are gone (Ha)

*All my love that I can't hide*

*All my love now* **you can't find it**

Days are gone, days are gone (Ha)

Days are gone, days are gone (Ha)

*All my love that I can't hide*

*All my love now* **you can't find it**

Days are gone, days are gone (Ha)

Days are gone, days are gone (Ha)

*All my love that I can't hide*

*All my love now* **you can't find it**

**[Outro: All]**

Those days are gone, those days are gone

Those days are gone

Holding on, holding on, holding on

Those days are gone

(*And now I'm waiting for the day to dawn*)

Those days are gone
