Ohio (I’ll Be Gone) Lyrics by Oliver Stay

If I’m Being Honest

2018

[VERSE1]
I fought it, I fought it
For a long time
The road is hazy
20/20 in hindsight
And I’m sick of laying on my bed
Next to an outline of you
The thought of it makes me kinda sick
I brought it upon myself again
And this misery is gonna take
An ugly shape in you
[PREChorus]
But I said “No”
You told me before
That there’s an everlasting way
To fix all these temporary things
But I said
“No, I did this all for me.”
[Chorus]
So I try to find my way
Through this mess I made
To get back to Ohio
From the trip you sent me on
I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone
[VERSE 2]
And if you wanted this loose-leaf
I’ll give it to you
I’ve been trying to retrace my steps
To find the place where this all began
A time where I would understand
How I could throw it, throw it
To the wind
I just wanted my life to be
Simple and quick
I must’ve wanted this enough to go ahead
And throw that all away
[PREChorus]
But I said “no”
You told me before
That you’re not ordinarily selfish
You’re just in over your head
But I said
“No, I did this all for me”
[Chorus]
So I try to find my way
Through this mess I made
To get back to Ohio
From the trip you sent me on
And if I don’t like how I feel
I don’t do enough
I’ll get over it
If you need me before too long
I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone
[Bridge]
Call me sick, call me out of my head
I meant every little thing I said
And if I’m being honest
I think honesty is all I have
I’m on my way
[Chorus]
So I try to find my way
Through this mess I made
To get back to Ohio
From the trip you sent me on
And if I don’t like how I feel
I don’t do enough
I’ll get over it
If you need me before too long
I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone
