Dead & Gone Lyrics
Travis Garland · Other Songs - Travis Garland
I'm moving on, It's just me.
Do you remember when you told me that
I'd never be good enough for anyone
And I wasn't worth your time,
Your energy.
And why didn't I listen then,
Why didn't I stand up for myself?
You made me believe,
That I was on the road to nowhere,
To nowhere.
And oh,
I was listening for way too long.
I should've known I'm way to strong,
That you'd just lead me on,
Lead me on.
And oh,
I was driving on that road to long.
Just tryna find my way back home,
The old me is dead and gone,
Dead and gone.
Ohh,
Ah,
Ah.
I've been thinking about all that we been trough,
Every place that you and me went to.
Thinking back on stupid little memories.
Thinking 'bout the times that my heart felt empty,
Wait! that was all the time,
Cause we just weren't fine, we fake it.
A true friend stabbed you in the front so tell me
Why my back is aching?
You can't say, you just choked
Hangman, there's your rope.
Dang, what's a five letter word for you
Well pick up and you got beat at your game.
Burn every bridge but you still see the smoke,
Tryna get across but you sank every boat.
You can smoke everyday of your life
But when I'm on the mic I'm a be more dope.
And oh,
I was listening for way too long.
I should've know I'm way to strong,
To let you just lead me on,
Lead me on.
See, you can love me for who I am,
Or hate me for who you think I am,
But the old me is dead and gone,
I'm moving on now.
Ohh,
Oh-oe-oh
Mmmmm
Old me is dead and gone,
Dead and gone.
Oh,
Oh-oe-oh,
Ahh ahh,
Ahh ahh.
