about

A jewel of Canada’s Soul scene, Claire Davis takes it up a notch and showcases her mighty vocals on the fiery breakup single “Long Gone”.

Drawing from her influences of the likes of Etta James and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, the unrelenting rhythm and sassy background vocals of this track complement the “take-no-mess” message of Davis’ lyrics and vocal delivery. A song about knowing your worth and walking away from those who don’t!

lyrics

You never wanna talk it out
Every small thing’s a fight
and you only wanna shout
You threaten me, that you’ll walk away
I’m so tired of hearing the same thing every single day

If you wanna leave me
You better get your bags packed
Lord knows I don’t need you
So don’t come runnin’ back babe

I’ll make it crystal clear
If you think I’ll be standing here
You’re dead wrong
I’ll be long gone

I know how this story goes
Once you cool off
You come crawling right back home
Say something sweet, like it was no big deal
I can no longer cover up all the that hurt I feel

It’s the audacity for me
You are all the things
You accused me to be
You messed around and I still took you back
But when I’m out with my friends you wanna have a heart attack


If you wanna leave me
You better get your bags packed
Lord knows I don’t need you
So don’t come runnin’ back babe

I’ll make it crystal clear
If you think I’ll be standing here
You’re dead wrong
I’ll be long gone


Not much more I can say
It’s always my fault to you anyway
I guess I’ll have to be the one
To call it quits cuz boy I’m done
Give you time to think about
All that you’ll be missing out

If you wanna leave me
You better get your bags packed
Lord knows I don’t need you
So don’t come runnin’ back babe

I’ll make it crystal clear
If you think I’ll be standing here
You’re dead wrong
I’ll be long gone
