Kind of Gone by Then
Love's Haze: Navigating Heartbreak and Redemption in 'Kind of Gone'
Lyrics
Everybody says that they can’t believe I did so well
People are surprised that I managed things so successfully.
They thought I’d fall apart when you walked in
Expectations were that I'd emotionally crumble when you entered.
I really don’t remember what I did or how it felt
I can't recollect my actions or emotions clearly at that time.
Guess I was kinda gone by then
I was emotionally distant or impaired at that moment.
I find myself, at least a thousand miles from that old bar
I'm far away from my past haunt, likely due to thoughts of you with someone else.
And all it took was just thinking bout you lying in his arms
Merely the thought of you with another person made me move far away.
They say you walked right up and you looked straight into my eyes
Accounts of you approaching and looking into my eyes circulate.
And said you wished I’d take you back again
You expressed a desire for reconciliation, which I can't recall clearly.
I really don’t recall the stare that cut you down to size
I can't remember the intense gaze that affected you negatively.
Guess I was kinda gone by then
My mental state made me disconnected at that point.
Lord knows I’ve tried to think that we could be together once again
I've attempted to believe we could reunite, but thoughts of you with someone else linger.
But I can’t shake free from thinking of you lying next him
I can't escape thinking about you being with someone else.
They wonder how I got the nerve to tell you off that way
Others wonder how I found the courage to confront you that way.
And say the whiskey’s what it must have been
Assumptions are that alcohol influenced my actions.
I still don’t know just how I knew exactly what to say
I'm uncertain how I knew precisely what to say.
Guess I was kinda gone by then
I was emotionally distant or impaired during that moment too.
I found myself at least a thousand miles from that old bar
I'm far away from my past haunt once more, likely due to thoughts of you with someone else.
And all it took was just thinking ‘bout you lying in his arms
Just thoughts of you with someone else made me move far away again.
Everybody says that they can’t believe I did so well
Similar reactions from people who didn't expect me to handle it well.
They thought I’d fall apart when you walked in
Expectations were for me to emotionally collapse upon your arrival.
I really don’t remember what I did or how it felt
I still can't remember my actions or emotions clearly at that time.
Guess I was kinda gone by then
I was emotionally distant or impaired once more.
Yeah, I was kinda gone by then
Confirmation of my emotional detachment during that period.
