Gone Girl
SZA Lyrics

Split mind, don't need to decide when
I am conflicted and have multiple thoughts, but I don't need to make a decision right now.

Straight forward, eyes on the climbing
I am focused and determined to achieve my goals.

I decide no matter the climate
I make decisions no matter what the situation or circumstances may be.

Birthing bitches in my third trimester
I am creating something significant in my life, despite the challenges I may face.

Shift eyes, they tell me you lying
I can tell when someone is lying just by looking at their eyes.

Don't care, just lay here beside me
I don't care about anything else right now, I just want someone to be close to me.

Hang time, chasing the rewind
I am reminiscing about the past and trying to capture those same feelings again.

I need more space and security (security)
I need more room to breathe and feel safe in my relationships.

I need less voices, just you and me (just you and me)
I want to hear less opinions and focus on my relationship with just one person.

I need your touch, not your scrutiny (scrutiny)
I don't want to be criticized or judged, I just want to feel your presence in a physical way.

Squeezing too tight, boy, you're losing me
If you hold onto me too tightly and suffocate me, you will end up pushing me away.

Can't think, it's too hard to process
I am feeling overwhelmed and incapable of thinking through my problems.

Get around you and I regress
When I am around you, I start to fall back into old habits and ways of thinking.

I decide what demons I digest
I choose what negative thoughts and emotions I allow to affect me.

I'm just tired of repeating, I digress
I am tired of going through the same things over and over again, I am changing the subject to avoid it.

Trying to find deeper meaning in nonsense
I am searching for a greater purpose or meaning in things that may not have any significance.

Trying to grow without hating the process
I am attempting to develop without dreading the hard work and struggles that come with it.

Tired of anticipating the worst, yet
I am exhausted from expecting the worst outcomes in situations.

Still anticipating the worst (worst)
Despite being tired of expecting the worst, I am still preparing myself for it.

Inward I go when there's no one around me
I turn inward and focus on my thoughts and emotions when I am alone.

And memories drown me, the further I go
The more I reflect on my past, the more it consumes me and takes me away from the present.

And ain't nobody talking 'bout the damage
No one is acknowledging the negative effects of my past experiences.

Pretending like it's all okay
I am putting on a facade and pretending that everything is fine.

I tried to erase
I have attempted to forget about past hurt and pain.

I live to escape
I am living my life in an effort to escape from my past and current struggles.

Gone, gone girl, gone girl
The girl is gone and not coming back.

You better learn how to face it
You need to come to terms with the fact that she is not returning.

Never replace her
No one can take her place in your life.
