Phillip Phillips - Gone, Gone, Gone(Click to listen) 

I believe the song is about loving someone so much that you are willing to let them leave. You're letting them know that you'll always be there no matter what they've done. It's talking about loving someone and being willing to do everything and anything for them, your love for them will never change, but you just have to let them go and ultimately when you truly love someone, letting them go is harder than dying for them. When the lyrics "Like a drum baby don't stop beating" to keep her heart going" are sung, it immediately speaks to me that a man refuses to stop loving his woman and wanna keep Love alive.

When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight
If you need help,
If you need help.
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie and cheat I'll beg and bribe
To make you well,
To make you well.When enemies are at your door
I'll carry you away from war
If you need help,
If you need help.
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well,
To make you well.

Give me reasons to believe
that you would do that same for me
and I would do it,
For you, for you.
Baby I'm not moving on,
I'll love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone,
I'll love you long after you're gone.
And long after you're gone gone gone.

When you fall like a statue
I'm gonna be there to catch you
And put you on your feet,
Put you on your feet.
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me
Tell me what you need,
What do you need.

I surrender honestly.
You've always done the same for me.
So I will do it
For you, for you.
Baby I'm not moving on,
I'll love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone,
I'll love you long after you're gone.
And long after you're gone gone gone.

You're my backbone
You're my cornerstone
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving
You're my head start
You're my rugged heart
You're the pulse that I've always needed
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating

For you, for you.
Baby I'm not moving on,
I'll love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone,
I'll love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
Baby I'm not moving on,
I'll love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone,
I'll love you long, long after you're gone.

Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you.
And long after you're gone gone gone.
I'll love you long after you're gone gone gone.
