Lyrics

Play This When I'm Gone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm writing you this message just so I can say that I love you

I had to let you know that everything about me was you, uh

I think it's time for me to leave, but I'll never leave you

I just looked at your pictures, so the last thing I did was see you

I'm twenty-nine, my anxiety's eating me alive

I'm fighting with myself and my sobriety every night

And last time I couldn't barely open up my eyes, I apologize

I'm not gonna lie and tell you: It's alright, it's alright

You're gonna cry and baby, that's alright, it's alright

I wrote you this song to keep when I'm gone

If you ever feel alone

You're gonna cry and baby, that's alright, it's alright

I hope you get to go to all the places that I showed you

When I was on the road and couldn't be home to hold you

Part of me doesn't want this cruel world to know you

So just try and keep in mind everything that I told you

I'm twenty-nine, and society's eating me alive

I'm fighting what comes with this notoriety every night

This is the last time I'll ever open up my eyes, I apologize

I'm not gonna lie and tell you, it's alright, it's alright

You're gonna cry and baby, that's alright, it's alright

I wrote you this song to keep when I'm gone

If you ever feel alone

You're gonna cry and baby, that's alright, it's alright

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, yeah

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you

And I'll miss you (I'll miss you), I'll miss you (I'll miss you)

I'll miss you (I'll miss you), I'll miss you, yeah

And I'll miss you (I'll miss you), I'll miss you (I'll miss you)

I'll miss you (I'll miss you), I'll miss you

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, yeah

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you
