Gone
Love's Departure: ARAYA & Donna Tella's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Hold me close
Expressing a desire for emotional closeness
I'll close my eyes
Indicating a willingness to shut out external stimuli
I'm just existing
Conveying a sense of mere existence without deeper meaning
We lay here
Describing a shared intimate space
Every night
Highlighting a recurring nightly activity
But something's missing
Suggesting an absence or lack in the relationship
Your faith in me fell away so quick
Acknowledging a rapid loss of trust
Took away heaven like I don't deserve it
Feeling undeserving of happiness or bliss
And I hate that you love me just a little bit
Expressing discomfort with receiving love in small quantities
I do, I do
Affirming the conflicting emotions within
If you're not begging me to stay
Setting a condition for staying in the relationship
Then baby I'm not gonna stay
Asserting a readiness to leave if not begged to stay
I'm done, I'm gone
Declaring the decision to end the relationship
If you're not begging me to stay
Reiterating the importance of being begged to stay
Then baby I'mma walk away
Emphasizing the intention to walk away without pleading
I'm done, and I'm gone
Reiterating the finality of the decision to leave
I'm so gone
Expressing a strong sense of departure
I've had a taste
Recalling a positive experience or feeling
Of paradise, for the first time
Describing a moment of bliss or happiness
Till you locked me out
Highlighting a sudden exclusion or rejection
So why I'd wait, for you to change
Questioning the worth of waiting for a change
Make up your mind
Calling for a decision to be made
And let me inside
Expressing a desire for inclusion or acceptance
Your faith in me fell away so quick
Repeating the theme of lost trust
Took away heaven like I don't deserve it
Feeling unworthy of heavenly experiences
And I hate that you love me just a little bit
Disliking the presence of love in small measures
I do, I do
Affirming the conflicting emotions within (repeated)
If you're not begging me to stay
Restating the condition for staying in the relationship
Then baby I'm not gonna stay
Reiterating the readiness to leave if not begged to stay
I'm done, I'm gone
Declaring the decision to end the relationship (repeated)
If you're not begging me to stay
Reiterating the importance of being begged to stay (repeated)
Then baby I'mma walk away
Emphasizing the intention to walk away without pleading (repeated)
I'm done, & I'm gone
Reiterating the finality of the decision to leave (repeated)
I'm so gone
Expressing a strong sense of departure (repeated)
