I'm Gone (On Piano)

I'm Gone (On Piano) — cover art

About this song

The stripped piano version of I'm Gone — the same hard-won goodbye to parents who couldn't give love the way it was needed, with nothing left to hide behind. Just the words, laid bare: "I'll keep working on myself and I'll be fine."

Lyrics

Mom why won't you hold me? Like you hold on to beliefs? Like the world is against you And I'm the only one you need Dad why don't you tell me That you love me for who I am I know you had it rough So I don't know if you can Can't you see you're hurting me inside? I feel like I've gotta run But there's nowhere to hide But It doesn't matter how many times You try to get inside my mind I'll keep working on myself and I'll be fine You can punch a concrete wall You can scream do it all Oh, I Oh, I I am gone I'm done with being more Than I possibly can You couldn't raise a little boy Now I'm an uncompleted man Can't you see that's hurting me inside? I feel like I've gotta run But there's nowhere to hide But It doesn't matter how many times You try to get inside my mind I'll keep working on myself and I'll be fine Come banging on my door I won't answer anymore No, I Oh, I I am gone I dream that you're holding me Until I ask you stop (yeah) And maybe your arms will touch And I'll be in the centre of love But just like any other day I can already hear you say You don't love us enough But It doesn't matter how many times You try to get inside my mind I'll keep working on myself and I'll be fine You can try to keep control Or make me break your fall No, I Oh, I I am gone
