[Verse 1]
I wore the ring too long
Like it weighed me down
You talked in empty rooms
I heard the truth in sound
Your keys hit the bowl
Like you still ran this place
But I saw your other life
Written on your face
[Pre-Chorus]
So I packed my name
In a little black bag
Took the good silver
Left the rest with the ash
[Chorus]
I’m gone, I’m gone
No, I won’t come home
I’m gone, I’m gone
You can sleep alone
I found what I need
And it’s not you tonight
I’m gone, I’m gone
Watch me step into my life
[Verse 2]
You said I’d fold
When the door closed shut
But I learned my strength
From the cuts and dust
Now his hand in mine
Feels calm, feels real
No more playing house
No more dead-end deals
[Pre-Chorus]
So I packed my name
In a little black bag
Took the good silver
Left the rest with the ash
[Chorus]
I’m gone, I’m gone
No, I won’t come home
I’m gone, I’m gone
You can sleep alone
I found what I need
And it’s not you tonight
I’m gone, I’m gone
Watch me step into my life
[Bridge]
You can call it cruel
You can call it shame
I call it breathing
After years in chains
I won’t look back
At the house you made
I’m not your shadow
I’m not your mistake
[Chorus]
I’m gone, I’m gone
No, I won’t come home
I’m gone, I’m gone
You can sleep alone
I found what I need
And it’s not you tonight
I’m gone, I’m gone
Watch me step into my life
