[Verse 1]
You called it love
I called it home
But every room
Felt like a loan
Your words were honey
Then they burned my throat
I kept on staying
Just to keep the peace afloat
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore your blame like a second skin
Tried to fix us from the middle in
But every promise was a paper chain
And I was done with the hurt and the shame
[Chorus]
I’m gone, gone, gone (gone, gone, gone)
You can keep that song
I’m free, free, free (free, free, free)
I got me back, that’s the key
No more your hold on my heart
I’m taking my life apart
And putting it back in the sun
I’m gone, gone, gone
[Verse 2]
Now I sleep through dawn
With the windows down
Mud on my tires
And a smile I found
I dance in the kitchen
With the radio loud
I don’t need your shadow
To be standing in a crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
I was a rose with my head bowed low
You cut the light, but I learned to grow
Now I laugh where the hurt used to stay
And I don’t miss you one bit, not today
[Chorus]
I’m gone, gone, gone (gone, gone, gone)
You can keep that song
I’m free, free, free (free, free, free)
I got me back, that’s the key
No more your hold on my heart
I’m taking my life apart
And putting it back in the sun
I’m gone, gone, gone
[Bridge]
I found my boots by the front door mat
Found my name when I got it back
No more begging, no more bruised-up pride
I took my tears and I let them dry
Now I chase the day like a runaway train
Laugh too hard in the summer rain
If you ever wonder where I’ll be
I’m out living wide and wild and free
[Chorus]
I’m gone, gone, gone (gone, gone, gone)
You can keep that song
I’m free, free, free (free, free, free)
I got me back, that’s the key
No more your hold on my heart
I’m taking my life apart
And putting it back in the sun
I’m gone, gone, gone
[Outro]
Dust on your boots
Sun on my face
I left your lie
And I loved my own life place
