You Should Be Gone by Now
Heartache Unveiled: Unraveling the Depths of 'You Should Be Gone'
Lyrics
I don't know why you want me
I don't understand the reason for your desire for me
I just can't see
I am unable to comprehend
If you'd done half the things I'd done to
If you had experienced half of what I have done to you
You to me, I'd walk away
I would choose to walk away
Leave without a trace, I couldn't stay
Disappear without leaving any evidence, I couldn't remain
'Cause you keep hangin' on
Because you continue to hold on
And I keep doin' you wrong
While I continue to mistreat you
And the cards and the stars all say
According to various signs and fate
You should be gone
It is indicated that you should have left
All day your phone keeps ringin'
Throughout the day, your phone is constantly ringing
Offers come constantly
Offers keep coming in
And I don't know who keeps callin'
I don't know who is calling
One thing's for sure it isn't me
One thing is certain, it's not me
'Cause I don't have the time to play the fool
Because I don't have the time to play the fool
'Cause you keep holdin' on
Because you persist in holding on
And I keep stringin' you along
And I continue to keep you in suspense
And there ain't no reason to stay
And there is no valid reason to stay
You should be gone
It is suggested that you should have departed
Sometimes I wonder how you live with my mistakes
Sometimes I contemplate how you tolerate my mistakes
Sometimes I wonder how many more I'll have to make
Sometimes I ponder how many more mistakes I'll have to make
Well I know your father hates me
I am aware that your father disapproves of me
And I can't say he's to blame
I can't blame him
'Cause if you were my daughter not my lover
If you were his daughter and not my lover
Well you know I'd prob'ly feel the same
He would probably feel the same way
Your friends all hate me too, but that's okay
Your friends also dislike me, but that's acceptable
'Cause you keep hangin' on
Because you persist in holding on
And they keep callin' me a bum
And they keep labeling me as a bum
And everybody knows but me,
And everyone knows except me,
You should be gone
It is suggested that you should have left
And the cards and the stars all say you should be gone
According to various signs and fate, you should have left
And by the time I finish this song, you'll prob'ly be gone
By the time I finish this song, you will probably have departed
