This song is an opportunity for me to say thank you
To someone truly special
Thank you for the love
Thank you for the friendship
Thank you for who I am today
And thank you for this very moment because
Now I get to say I have a new song with
Aaliyah

First, I want to say, in my heart it's only you
And baby, no matter what you heard
On my momma life, girl to you, I will be true
I know we've been through ups and downs
Times I feel like they didn't want me around
But just know that I'm a fight for you
Fight for you

Then let me explain how it started
Can you sit down, take some time, and listen to me?
I feel that you owe it to me
But before I begin, let me tell you
That I love you, even still, with all of me
So let me explain why
It’s over for you, and me

Did you know that there’s more
Than one side to a story, (I'm telling my side)
Instead of the one affects me
Just give me a chance to explain my story (alright)
Don't let it end, baby then you will see

Baby, I'm
Gone (will you leave?)
Gone (will you go?)
Gone (do you know?)
Baby, I'm
Gone (will you leave?)
Gone (if you need)
Gone
I'm moving on (will you leave?)
Gone (will you go?)
Gone (do you know?)
Gone
Gone (will you leave?)
Gone (leaving me)
Gone
Gone

So now that you heard
It was different
It was sweet and
Innocent
Just how it should be
You see, he swept me right off on my feet
And I know that ya' hurt
But feel me
You took for granted all my love
For all of these years
There was no reciprocity
You tried to pacify me
Didn’t even satisfy me

And you know that there’s more
Than one side to a story, (I'm telling my side)
Instead of the one affects me
Just give me a chance to explain my story (alright)
Don't let it end, baby then you will see

Baby, I'm
Gone (will you leave?)
Gone (will you go?)
Gone (do you know?)
Baby, I'm
Gone (will you leave?)
Gone (if you need)
Gone
I'm moving on (will you leave?)
Gone (will you go?)
Gone (do you know?)
Gone
Gone (will you leave?)
Gone (leaving me)
Gone
Gone (listen)

Listen
I blame me, I could never blame you, ooh
I couldn’t see, all of the hurt I put you through
Wasted all your time, wish I could rewind
But you’re gone, gone, gone, gone

Baby, I'm
Gone (yeah)
Gone
Gone
Baby, I'm
Gone
Gone (gone)
Gone
I'm moving on
Gone (now that you're gone)
Gone
Gone (now that you're gone)
Gone
Gone
Gone (gone)
Gone
