I'm Gone
beatnick & k-salaam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone tell my why I'm always fuckin things up
Am I wastin all my time, I gave my heart and got nothin
I tell myself these lies because I wish I had someone
Sometimes I gotta cry like someone chopping up onions
My life got thrown inside a dicer I feel like everything's wrong
We used to be closer but now I feel you've moved on
I feel depressed and I feel reckless, all I do is write songs
If I don't make it, I hope you remember me when I'm gone

It's hard to keep on going with the thought etched in my mind
No matter how much I do right I'll still be wasting my time
If time is money I'm losin wealth by the second
It's kinda funny I'm alive cause my health I don't respect it
Just tryna buy a necklace
I was overzealous
Wanted Bape like a gorilla
Wanted beats like I'm J Dilla
Want to eat like I'm a king
Wanted her to have a ring
Only real ones know the meaning
Only therapy is singing
I wish I wasn't dreaming
Out the bed I would be springing
Onto me you would be clinging
Fuck I wish I wasn't dreaming
Reality is that I am
I am supposed to act like a man
That's the shit that I do not understand
You know I am wingin it I ain't got no plan
I wanna fly away like I'm a bird
Feels like I'm on heaven cause you are on earth
Looks like the dream will be kicked to the curb
Sad that all of this is because of a girl
I wanna fly away like I'm a bird
It feels like heaven cause you are on earth
Looks like the dream will be kicked to the curb
Sad that all of this is because of a girl

Someone tell my why I'm always fuckin things up
Am I wastin all my time, I gave my heart and got nothin
I tell myself these lies because I wish I had someone
Sometimes I gotta cry like someone chopping up onions
My life got thrown inside a dicer I feel like everything's wrong
We used to be closer but now I feel you've moved on
I feel depressed and I feel reckless, all I do is write songs
If I don't make it, I hope you remember me when I'm gone

Again and again I fuck it up
Sippin on gin to suck it up
I will never drown like a rubber duck
Sirens are out like a fire truck
Is it luck or is it me
Cause every single one I see
Won't ever speak to me
No you won't speak to me
Nah I can't let it be
This shit that's plaguing me
Maybe I'll turn a leaf
Maybe I'll see new things
See how it's supposed to be
I'm livin in my tragedy
I can't see why it has to be
Like this why it has to be
When will I live differently
When will I see properly
When will they stop lyin to me
When will you stop tryna be
Somebody you ain't supposed to be
Why won't you stay close to me
Y'all never stay close to me
That is what's broken me
So many times it's happened, I can't figure it out
I feel like I'm in a desert, but can I find my way out
I waste my time lookin for someone that could help end the drought
No matter how much my friends help I always feel so left out

Someone tell my why I'm always fuckin things up
Am I wastin all my time, I gave my heart and got nothin
I tell myself these lies because I wish I had someone
Sometimes I gotta cry like someone chopping up onions
My life got thrown inside a dicer I feel like everything's wrong
We used to be closer but now I feel you've moved on




I feel depressed and I feel reckless, all I do is write songs
If I don't make it, I hope you remember me when I'm gone
