Are You Gone Already

[00:07.83] What you doin', Papa?
[00:09.99] Hi
[00:11.41] No, uh-uh, say hi
[00:13.94] Hi
[00:15.92] Don't you know I'm no good for you?
[00:22.21] I've learned to lose you, can't afford to
[00:29.66] Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin'
[00:35.96] But nothin' ever stops you leavin'
[00:43.45] Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own
[00:49.11] You never got to meet Papa (I could lie, say I like it like that)
[00:51.57] He sweet proper, he keep Mama on my toes (like it like that)
[00:54.82] I needed help, you booked a flight (I could lie, and say I like it like that)
[00:56.99] In three days, you'd meet Papa (like it like that, mm)
[00:59.77]
[01:03.33] The waiting, the gazing
[01:05.22] The painting, the raging
[01:07.67] The ravin', the pacing
[01:09.99] The praying, the shaking
[01:12.30] I must admit, I was breaking
[01:14.41] I must admit, I was taking
[01:16.82] I must admit, my heart was racing
[01:18.83] Telephone ring
[01:19.80] He didn't make it
[01:21.29] I just believed you wakin'
[01:23.36] A memory in the makin'
[01:25.36] Call me
[01:27.34] Won't you call me? (Call)
[01:29.21] No, you gone
[01:30.27] Are you gone already? (Don't you know too much already?)
[01:33.37]
[01:36.61] I'll only hurt you if you let me
[01:41.35]
[01:43.82] Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
[01:50.04] And I'll call you when the party's over
[01:57.24] Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own
[02:03.31] So deal, Nika
[02:03.95] Yes real, Nika (I could lie, say I like it like that)
[02:05.58] Don't stress, Onika
[02:06.53] So blessed, Onika (like it like that)
[02:08.86] Today, it's 12-3-23 (I could lie, say I like it like that)
[02:11.16] Your baby's three
[02:12.59] He's the best, Onika (like it like that)
[02:16.82] Set me, set me, set me free
[02:20.66] Why didn't you come back to get me?
[02:26.07] Let me, let me, let me be (let me be)
[02:29.85] Why would anyone want to love me?
[02:35.27] Rich, yes, but are you happy? (Rich, yes, but are you happy?)
[02:39.10] All this guilt you carry is heavy (all of this guilt is heavy)
[02:43.57] You've already made your peace with me
[02:48.33] One day you'll have to forgive Mommy
[02:52.70] But she knows you know too much already
[03:00.17] I'll only hurt you if you let me
[03:05.32]
[03:07.35] Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
[03:13.52] And I'll call you when the party's over
[03:20.90] Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own
[03:26.75] And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
[03:32.31] I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
[03:37.51]
[03:40.57] Nothin' is better sometimes
[03:45.21] Once we've both said our goodbyes
[03:50.76] Let's just let it go
[03:55.18] Let me let you go
[03:59.52]
[04:02.39] Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own
[04:09.17] I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
[04:15.90] I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
[04:20.51]
