Daughtry: Gone Too Soon Meaning

Gone Too Soon Lyrics

today could've been the day
that you blow out your candles
make a wish as you close your eyes
today could've been the day
everybody was laughin'
instead i just sit here and cry
who would you be?
what would you look like
when you looked at...

   I think it is a sort of tribute song for Caylee Anthony after she was found dead in 2008.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   Miscarriage or loss of infant... I've had two miscarriages and lost my son at 5 days old. This song says it all...

   Chris Daughtry explained: "i went into the studio right after a good friend of mine called me to tell me his daughter lost her child. And i got this feeling... it was really heavy".

   I believe it means the loss of a child through miscarriage. The words speak volumes and the emotions that go along with losing a child. Having lost my first child at 12 weeks in July 2011, this is exactly how I feel and the questions I ask daily. It is absolutely heart wrenching but provides healing at the same time!!!

   It makes me think of a baby's death, or a toddler... Such a sad song, but it describes it all perfectly..

   I'm thinking that this means a miscarriage or a stillborn. Definitely about a baby. Sad, but beautiful song. Love Daughtry.

    One of Chris's babies might've died in the womb. So sad and emotional and great song. Brings tears to my eyes.
