I'm Gone
Kash'd Out Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I don′t know what you take me for but baby,
You better watch your tone.
Yeah, you're walking all over me like a treadmill lately,
Got me thinking ′bout running home, running home.

Cuz when I had to settle for less I got stuck with you,
Never had the best of luck with true love, so hard to find,
And no one ever seems to have the right kind.
And I took what I could get at the time,
Had no problem making you mine,
But you know that you ain't treating me right.
Watch out I'll be on the next flight.

But once I′m gone, I′m gone.
I put up with you way too long,
And now every time you hear this song,
You're gonna wonder what you did wrong and why
I′m gone, I'm gone, you never know what′s going on
And it's the reason why I′m done.
Gonna find where I belong and then I'm gone.
Yeah I'm gone.

Well I somehow got to thinking that you might hate me,
Tell me what did I do?
And honestly if we call it quits it wouldn′t devastate me,
But I can′t say the same for you. Baby no can do.

Cuz the minute I go reaching out for
Someone else, you don't wanna be by yourself
If true love is so hard to find,
Then why you gotta take advantage of mine?

And you′re acting like I owe you something.
Talk like that will get you nothing.
And even if I got nowhere to go, I'm gonna make sure you know

That once I′m gone, I'm gone.
I put up with you way too long,
And now every time you hear this song,
You′re gonna wonder what you did wrong and why
I'm gone, I'm gone, you never know what′s going on
And it′s the reason why I'm done.
Gonna find where I belong and then I′m gone.





Yeah I'm gone.
