I'm Gone
Tomine Harket Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You pretend you want someone like me
When everyone can tell it′s not reality
You need a weaker girl who doesn't have a say
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
I won′t waste another breath on you
Don't need another minote, boy, to think this through
I'm done with following all your stupid rules
Oh yeah (oh yeah)

Baby, used to hold my hand
I was slowly going mad
I realized I′m the good and you′re the bad
Keep away from my face
Standing in my way
Im gone

You'll realize I′m the best you've had
Don′t even try to call me, Iwon't answer that
You never wanna think of me, it makes you sad
Oh yeah (oh yeah)

I was pulling you up, you were pulling me down
You knocked me out, to your surprise I′m back from the ground

Baby, used to hold my hand
I was slowly going mad
I realized I'm the good and you're the bad
Keep away from my face
Standing in my way
Im gone

Baby, used to hold my hand
I was slowly going mad
I realized I′m the good and you′re the bad (good and you're the bad)
Keep away from my face
Standing in my way
Im gone

I was pulling you up, you were pulling me down
You knocked me out, to your surprise I′m back from the ground

I was pulling you up (was pulling you up)




You were pulling me down (pulling me down)
You knocked me out, to your surprise I'm back from the ground

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tomine Harket's song "I'm Gone" is a declaration of independence from a controlling and manipulative lover. The singer articulates how her partner has been pretending to want someone like her, but it's all a facade since they're not compatible. The partner needs a submissive girl without a voice, but the singer is not willing to change who she is. She affirms that she won't waste another breath or minute on him and is done following his stupid rules. The singer recognizes that she deserves someone better, and the partner will come to realize that she was the best he ever had. The singer makes it clear that she won't be answering any of his calls and that he will be sad when he thinks of her.


The chorus of the song describes how the singer was slowly going mad when her partner was holding her hand. She concludes that she's the good person, and he's the bad one and tells him to keep away from her face and not to stand in her way since she's gone. The lyrics reveal the singer's resilience and determination to move on from a toxic relationship. She acknowledges that the partner had knocked her down, but she's back on her feet.


In conclusion, "I'm Gone" is a powerful song about standing up for oneself against emotional abuse and manipulation. The singer sends a clear message that she's not willing to compromise her values to please anyone and deserves better treatment. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a relationship where their partner tries to control them, and the singer's strong vocals add to the emotional impact of the song.
