Are You Gone Already

What you doin', Papa? Hi

No, uh-uh, say, "Hi"

Don't you know I'm no good for you?

I've learned to lose you, can't afford to

Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin'

But nothin' ever stops you leavin'

Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own

You never got to meet Papa

He sweet proper, he keep Mama on my toes

I needed help, you booked a flight

In three days, you'd meet Papa

The waiting, the gazing

The painting, the raging

The ravin', the pacing

The praying, the shaking

I must admit, I was breaking

I must admit, I was taking

I must admit, my heart was racing

Telephone ring, he didn't make it

I just believed you'd awaken

A memory in the makin'

Call me

Won't you call me? (Call)

No, you gone

Don't you know too much already?

Are you gone already?

I'll only hurt you if you let me

Call me friend, but keep me closer (Call me back)

And I'll call you when the party's over

Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own

So dear, Onika, yes, where Onika?

Don't stress, Onika, so blessed, Onika

Today, it's 12/3/23

Your baby's three, he's the best, Onika

Set me, set me, set me free

Why didn't you come back to get me?

Let me, let me, let me be

Why would anyone want to love me?

Rich, yes, but are you happy? (Rich, yes, but are you happy?)

All this guilt you carry is heavy (All of this guilt is heavy)

You've already made your peace with me

One day, you'll have to forgive Mommy

But she knows you know too much already

Don't you know too much already?

I'll only hurt you if you let me

Call me friend, but keep me closer (Call me back)

And I'll call you when the party's over

Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own

And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

Nothin' is better sometimes

Once we've both said our goodbyes

Let's just let it go

Let me let you go

Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own

I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
