[Verse 1]
Since you've been gone
I've been high I've been livin'
Waited so long for you just to give in

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like the world's on me, yeah all on me
Oh how did it get there
Feels like the world's on me, yeah all on me
Oh how did it get there

[Chorus]
M.I.A
I've been gone away too long, ah yeah
M.I.A
I've been gone away too long, ah yeah

I've been stressed out, I've been trippin'
Over nothing and it's sinkin' into deep
I hope I can swim out
M.I.A
I've been gone away too long, ah yeah

[Verse 2]
Everyday is gettin' harder
I can't explain it, mm
Building stories in my head that don't exist
It's complicated, mm

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like the world's on me, yeah all on me
Oh how did it get there
Feels like the world's on me, yeah all on me
Oh how did it get there

[Chorus]
M.I.A
I've been gone away too long, ah yeah
M.I.A
I've been gone away too long, ah yeah

I've been stressed out, I've been trippin'
Over nothing and it's sinkin' into deep
I hope I can swim out
M.I.A
I've been gone away too long, ah yeah

[Bridge]
I've been gone
I've been gone
I've been gone
I've been gone
I've been gone
M.I.A
M.I.A

[Chorus]
M.I.A
I've been gone away too long, ah yeah
M.I.A
I've been gone away too long, ah yeah

I've been stressed out, I've been trippin'
Over nothing and it's sinkin' into deep
I hope I can swim out
M.I.A
I've been gone away too long, ah yeah
