I'm Gone
Lady Valiant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One hand on the door
Leave it up to you honey which way it's gonna go
You had me wrapped around your finger boy
For far to long
One more push from you and I'll be
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
And I've told you more than twice
You push me closer to that edge I won't be playin' nice
You've had me wrapped around your finger darlin'
For far too long
One more push from you and I'll be
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Sick of all your foolin'
And I'm tired of all your games
You're messin' with the wrong girl
Your whole life's about to change
You've had me wrapped around your finger boy
For far too long
One last push from you and now I'm
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
One last push from you and now I'm
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
One last push from you and now I'm
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

One hand in my pocket
I am ready to leave and have one foot out the door
One hand on the door
I am ready to walk away
Leave it up to you honey which way it's gonna go
It's your last chance to decide what happens next
You had me wrapped around your finger boy
For far to long
You had control over me for too long
One more push from you and I'll be
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
If you push me one more time, I'm leaving and never looking back
You told me only one time
And I've told you more than twice
You're not listening to me and it's frustrating
You push me closer to that edge I won't be playin' nice
You're bringing me to my breaking point and I won't be kind about it
Sick of all your foolin'
And I'm tired of all your games
I'm tired of your deceitful behavior
You're messin' with the wrong girl
Your whole life's about to change
You're about to regret your actions
One last push from you and now I'm
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
You gave me one last reason to leave and I took it
