Jessica Campbell Gone lyrics

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.
