Are You Gone Already

What you doin', papa?
Hi
No, uh-uh
Say hi
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 coming 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 (Mm)
The waiting, the gazing
The painting, the raging
The raving, 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 waiting, make it
I just believed you wakin'
A memory in the makin'
Call me
Won't you call me? (Call)
No, you gone

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 deal, 'Nika, it's real, 'Nika
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?
Love me, love me, love 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

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 (Ah)
Yeah, I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

But 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 coming 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
