Featured lyrics "Need To Be Gone"

These lyrics are a little hard to share, but I also like them and I actually have a melody in mind for them. If you read My Story, you’ll remember I said after years of not writing and many emotional events in my life, I heard the song “I’ve Seen,” written and performed by Tim Foust, and I started writing again. This is the first thing I wrote after all that time. It is inspired by personal events, but I honestly feel this is filled with emotion from many things, not just one event. It’s powerful and revealing to me. I actually re-did the words so it could be sung by a man also, which is something I have never done before. Here’s the original version of "Need To Be Gone," which can also be found on the New Song Lyrics page.

Need to be Gone

(chorus)

I don’t understand, it wasn’t like this yesterday, I never thought I’d feel this way

I need to be gone, I need to be free, I need to be me, I can’t carry on, I need to be gone

Before you and I, I wasn’t missing anything, but my heart needed to sing

You needed someone to help you break up all the pain, and bring you in from the rain

We became husband and wife, then a baby on the way, she’ll bring us laughter everyday

It made your past came alive, you treated me like I was her, and the nights became a blur

(chorus)

I don’t understand, it wasn’t like this yesterday, I never thought I’d feel this way

I need to be gone, I need to be free, I need to be me, I can’t carry on, I need to be gone

The years have gone by, you always left us on our own, and I began to feel alone

We had a good life, I wouldn’t change a single day, we shared so much along the way

But the struggles went on, we don’t talk any more, you were always out the door

One day it was gone, the love I felt had disappeared, I knew the time was drawing near

(chorus)

I don’t understand, it wasn’t like this yesterday, I never thought I’d feel this way

I need to be gone, I need to be free, I need to be me, I can’t carry on, I need to be gone
