I'm Gone
The Hi-Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna be your adversary
But your mood like the weather, Stormy like Halle Berry
Remember when you tried to pressure me into getting married?
We ain't even date for that long, girl that's kinda scary
But even though you had your moments, I still loved you, I might still you love you (Damn)
But I gotta keep my distance, cause you really buggin' over every single little thing
Got me thinking bout how we never been on the same page
Tryna act like you the only victim here, you know that that's wrong
Its both of us together that got us to where we are
So mad, I can't keep calm
Can't sleep without you in my bed, my schedule fucked up
I'm chugging down tequila so I really get
Fucked up, enough, to forget how much it hurt me when you left
Sometimes I wish that you and me had never even met
I know we did a lot of things that both of us regret
We both gave it our best, but it ain't work in the end
And now I'm tryna pick up all the pieces of my heart
This toxic type of love is always known to leave a scar
I should have known that this would never work out from the start
You went too far girl, so now I'm gone
Now I'm gone, gone, gone
Cutting like a knife, your words slice 'n' dice me nicely
The way you treat me got me wondering if you even like me
Cause lately it only seems like you wanna come and fight me
You do shit just to spite me, we arguing almost nightly over
Bullshit in my past that's irrelevant to the present
Accusing me of shit I didn't do cause you were jealous
So insecure, you made me cut off all my best friends
While you act like Xavier, how you keep round all your ex-men
You really thought I wouldn't wise up?
To way you went behind my back just like some nunchucks? You got me fucked up
You messing with my mental, babygirl it's just too much
Still chugging down tequila so I really get
Fucked up, enough, to forget how much it hurt me when you left
Sometimes I wish that you and me had never even met
I know we did a lot of things that both of us regret
We both gave it our best, but it ain't work in the end
And now I'm tryna pick up all the pieces of my heart
This toxic type of love is always known to leave a scar
I should have known that this would never work out from the start
You went too far girl, so now I'm gone




So now I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone
