Gone - Jessica Campbell

I long to be the girl you’re wanting me to be

To make you happy I do anything

So I always took it when you pointed the blame

Like every problem you had ended with my name

But I like me better when I am myself

I try so hard to be someone else

It feels so good but it sounds so wrong

My life is better now that you are gone

Where in your little world do I fit in?

The things I wanted never made your list

But I never said a word, just played it safe

And held on for dear life hoping you would change

And I like me better when I am myself

I try so hard to be someone else

It feels so good but it sounds so wrong

My life is better now that you are gone

And it’s a mistake, it took a heart break

To show me who I am

You had your reasons and I had my own

Something about you never felt like home

I was afraid that I’d be all alone

My skies are brighter now that you’ve moved on

And I like me better when I am myself

I try so hard to be someone else

It feels so good but it sounds so wrong

My life is better now that you are gone

I’m finally free now that I can say

My life better since you went away.
