Well, the changing of the guard is oh, so real

But before I go, I wanna tell you how I feel

I gave you the chance to build a life worth living

But you cut off the love like a vine that can never grow back.

Oh, I used to go away and come back, back another day

But now I don't know how long.

I'm gonna be gone

Yeah, yeah...

But I'm gonna be gone

Yeah, yeah...

Well, I held on like a dog for life and limb

And our burning house cast shapes upon the scrim

I gave you the chance to build a life worth building

But you smashed all the plants up, now they can never grow back.

You had fun stringing me along

But oh, no player, you were wrong

But now I don't know how long.

I'm gonna be gone

Yeah, yeah...

But I'm gonna be gone

Yeah, yeah...

Now woman, I wanna tell you something

I ain't never seen the likes of you before

So I was willing to stand still while you pushed me

But you finally pushed me out the door

So I wanna hear you say it (say it, yeah)

Yeah, I wanna hear you beg me (beg me, yeah)

Oh, I used to go away and come back, back another day

But now I don't know how long.

I'm gonna be gone

Yeah, yeah...

But I'm gonna be gone

Yeah, yeah...

But I'm gonna be gone

Yeah, yeah...

But I'm gonna be gone

Yeah, yeah...
