Here But I'm Gone Lyrics
How did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gonePorched up in a rocking-chair
With my feet all bare
Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrapLive an adolescent mind
Never do take the time
Waiting for my high, quiet as it's keptHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneMama told me I was best
Argue and punch in the chest
Son, now be strong, let me take you homeI'd see in her eyes so sincere
Screaming, what got me here
Standing in the world with my mind all blownHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneI do nothing but waste all my time
Leaving the world behind
Smoking my crack just to keep me highAround the boys I play my part rough
Keep myself tough enough
Never to cry, don't really wanna dieHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm goneHow did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong?
And where in the world did I ever go wrong?If I took the time to replace
What my mind erased
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
