[Verse 1]

I'm a headache away from not knowing what day of the week it is

Yeah, I slept in yesterday's clothes on the couch all alone

But it's better than running back to you again

And I don't wanna be going back on my word

And find myself driving back through those curves

Back to your driveway

Wanna do this the right way

No matter how much it burns


[Chorus]

So baby, I been staying gone way from your friends

Seeing them sends me back into this hundred proof

And baby, I been staying gone every day, ends off the deep end

Just drowning out the thought of you

Yeah, I keep on fighting like hell and I wanna call you

Wondering if I shoulda never called at all

Yeah baby, leaving you hurt

But what's evеn worse is tryna move on

'Cause it's gonna kill mе

Staying gone


[Verse 2]

I scroll through my phone, I see all your posts

It's looking like your hair's a little darker now

And girl, you still have me running a tab

And tryna get my heart back to how you found it

You got me thinking back on my words

And drinking 'bout everything that we were

'Cause the back of my mind voice

Saying I made the right choice

No mattter how much it burns


[Chorus]

Baby, I been staying gone way from your friends

Seeing them sends me back into this hundred proof

And baby, I been staying gone every day, ends off the deep end

Just drowning out the thought of you

Yeah, I keep on fighting like hell and I wanna call you

Wondering if I shoulda never called at all

Yeah baby, leaving you hurt

But what's even worse is tryna move on

'Cause it's gonna kill me

Staying gone


[Bridge]

If this is how I feel

Girl, how do you deal

With me saying goodbye to your face

And I be going through hell, but

Don't know how to help ya

The least I can do is give you space

So I been staying gone

Yeah, I been staying gone


[Chorus]

Yeah, I been staying gone way from your friends

Seeing them sends me back into this hundred proof

And baby, I been staying gone every day, ends off the deep end

Just drowning out the thought of you

I keep on fighting like hell and I wanna call you

Wondering if I shoulda never called at all

Yeah baby, leaving you hurt

But what's even worse is tryna move on

'Cause it's gonna kill me

Staying gone
