GONE
NF Lyrics

Always saw my glass as half empty, it was never full
I tended to focus on the negative; I struggled to see the positive in situations.

You were always passive and I was irresponsible
You were laid-back and I was reckless; we were not well-balanced as a couple.

Didn't have a chance, but we were scared to let things go
Things were not working out between us, but we were afraid to end things and move on.

Young, in love, broken hearts holding on to our false hope
We were young and in love, but our hearts were already broken, and we clung to the hope that things would get better.

Had your whole life planned out, I had no clue who I was
You had a clear vision for your future, but I lacked direction and was unsure of my identity.

Gave it all we had, but guess our all wasn't enough
We put in a lot of effort, but it was not enough to salvage our relationship.

Wonder where you're at now, did you ever find the one?
I often contemplate where you are in life now and if you have found your true love.

Hope you're out there somewhere happy, sometimes I think of ya
I hope that you have found happiness and contentment, and I sometimes reminisce about you.

And it makes me sad
Thinking about our past causes me to feel melancholy.

The way you left
The way you ended things between us still stings.

But I'm glad you did
Despite the pain, I am ultimately thankful that our relationship ended when it did.

It was for the best
Breaking up was ultimately the best decision for both of us.

I pray, someday you find yourself
I hope that one day you discover who you truly are.

Somehow, some way, with someone else
I hope that you find love and companionship with someone else.

Don't wait, it's too late to keep holding on
It is time to let go and move on; there is no use in clinging to the past.

I'm already gone
I have already moved on from our relationship.

Ah, I could blame us breaking up on being too young and being too dumb
I could attribute our breakup to our youth and naïveté.

And being too caught up on past traumas
We may have also been preoccupied with past traumas that impacted our relationship.

But the truth is we just weren't right, we planned a whole life
Ultimately, the reality is that we were not well-suited for one another; we tried to plan a future together, but it was not meant to be.

When we both know we should've just ended on the first night
We should have recognized our incompatibility from the beginning and ended things before they began.

And I know if I would have stayed with you
If I had stayed with you, I believe my life may have taken a different, less fulfilling trajectory.

I would've been down on luck and done with love and done too much
I may have experienced hardship, heartbreak, and poor decision-making if I had remained with you.

To make you stay, second-guessing and resenting all the love
I would have had to resort to manipulation and questioning your feelings, which would have bred resentment and undermined the love we had.

I could've gave to someone else
I could have given my love to someone who was better suited for me.

Got carpal tunnel from holding on to what we once felt
I held onto the memory of our relationship for too long and caused myself undue pain and discomfort because of it.

I'm happy for you, I am
Despite our past, I am genuinely happy for you and wish you well.

And once in a while it's true, I think about you too
From time to time, I still reflect on our past and think of you.

I'm already gone
Once again, I am firmly committed to moving on from our relationship.

I'm already gone
I am already gone.

I'm already gone
I have already moved on.
