When I’m Gone

I’ve seen the writing on the wall

I’ve read the verdict in your eyes

The way you whisper on the phone

When you think you’re all alone

Says that you’ve been telling lies

I bet you thought I’d never know

I’m sure you guessed I’d be surprised

That’s why you tried to play it cool, tired to play me like a fool

But I can read between the lines

You know I never tried to bring you down

When times were tough I hung around

But now this heart you took for granted

Is finally leaving town

And when I’m gone, tell me how will you make it alone?

When you find that you’re on your own

And there ain’t no one home you can lean on baby

When I’m gone, tell me who will be turning you on?

You’ll be lonely before too long…when I’m gone

I should have listened to my friends

I could have saved myself the pain

They told me time and time again, you would hurt me in the end

So I guess that I‘m to blame

Never thought I’d ever have to feel this way

So broken down and so betrayed

But I know the pain you caused me

Will all come back to you someday

And when I’m gone, tell me how will you make it alone?

When you find that you’re on your own

And there ain’t no one home you can lean on baby

When I’m gone, tell me who will be turning you on?

You’ll be lonely before too long…when I’m gone

Don’t you know I never tried to bring you down

When times were tough I hung around

But now this heart you took for granted

Is finally leaving town

And when I’m gone, tell me how will you make it alone?

When you find that you’re on your own

And there ain’t no one home you can lean on baby

When I’m gone, tell me who will be turning you on?

You’ll be lonely before too long…when I’m gone

You’ll be lonely before too long…when I’m gone
