Already Gone
Girlicious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought that I knew you
Thought that you were true, too
Why couldn't I have been right, right
While my spirit wasn't fighting
You were there in hiding
Didn't want to look in the light

While the words have escaped me
The love won't erase me
I just got so
So tired of asking why.
While you were acting shady
I realize, this shit's crazy
Nothing left to do but say goodbye
Bye, bye

Yeah, I'm already gone
Why are you trying to hold on
Stop tryin' baby, it's too late
Yeah, I'm already gone
I guess our love wasn't strong
There's nothing left for you to say
Yeah, I'm gone, yeah I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone, already gone
Yeah, I'm gone, yeah I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone, already gone

Don't want to rewrite it
Go back and define it
There's nothing here to make me stay
Day by day I'm stronger
My heart shows no longer
There's no guilt standing in my way

While the words have escaped me
The love won't erase me
I just got so
So tired of asking why.
While you were acting shady
I realize, this shit's crazy
Nothing left to do but say goodbye
Bye, bye

Yeah, I'm already gone
Why are you trying to hold on
Stop tryin baby, it's too late
Yeah, I'm already gone
I guess our love wasn't strong
There's nothing left for you to say
Yeah, I'm gone, yeah I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone, already gone
Yeah, I'm gone, yeah I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone, already gone

I'm not gonna look the other way
I can't let myself waste another day
I don't hate you
I don't blame you
I just got to know the truth
I don't hate you
I don't blame you
But I know I'm done with you

Ain't coming back, ain't coming back, ain't coming back,
Ain't coming back, ain't coming back, ain't coming back,
Ain't coming back, ain't coming back, ain't coming back,
Ain't coming back, ain't coming back, ain't coming back,

Yeah, I'm already gone
Why are you trying to hold on
Stop tryin baby, it's too late
Yeah, I'm already gone
I guess our love wasn't strong
There's nothing left for you to say
Yeah, I'm gone, yeah I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone, already gone




Yeah, I'm gone, yeah I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone, already gone

Overall Meaning

"Already Gone" by Girlicious is a break-up anthem that conveys the pain, frustration, and empowerment of leaving a toxic relationship. In the first verse, the singer reflects on the betrayal and deception of her former lover, whom she thought was faithful and honest. She acknowledges the emotional turmoil she endured while being in a relationship with someone who was not sincere and true to her. The chorus serves as the climax of the song, as she declares that she has already moved on and there is no point in trying to hold on to something that is already gone. The second verse explains that she doesn't want to revisit what they had together and feels stronger day by day without him. The bridge is a heartfelt confession of ending a relationship because of the truth she found out, without any animosity.


Overall, this song paints a picture of a woman who has the courage to face reality and walk away from someone who was not worth her love or trust. It's not a typical heartbreak song that begs for a second chance or pleading for the lost lover to return. Instead, it's a song that affirms the decision of leaving the relationship and the strength to move on.
