When I’m Gone Lyrics
(..When I’m Gone..)
Yeah
It’s my life
My own words I guess
Have you ever loved someone so much, you’d give an arm for
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for
When they know they’re your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you
And everything you stand for, turns on you to spite you
What happens when you become the main source of her pain
Daddy look what I made”, Dad’s gotta go catch a plane
Daddy where’s Mommy? I can’t find Mommy where is she
I don’t know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy’s busy
Daddy’s writing a song, this song ain’t goin’ write itself
I’ll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who’s a spitting image of her
That’s Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady’s crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady’s rocka-by-baby…
And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling
And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling
And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain
Just smile back…
I keep having this dream, I’m pushin’ Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don’t want me to sing
You’re making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying
Baby, Daddy ain’t leaving no more, “Daddy you’re lying
You always say that, you always say this is the last time
But you ain’t leaving no more, Daddy you’re mine
She’s piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
Daddy please, Daddy don’t leave, Daddy – no stop it!
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It’s got a picture, “This’ll keep you safe Daddy, take it witcha
I look up, it’s just me standing in the mirror
These fucking walls must be talking, cause man I can hear ’em
They’re saying “You’ve got one more chance to do right” – and it’s tonight
Now go out there and show ’em that you love ’em before it’s too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It turns to a stage, they’re gone, and this spotlight is on
And I’m singing…
And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling
And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I’m gone, just carry on, don’t mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I’m looking down on you smiling
And I didn’t feel a thing, So baby don’t feel no pain
Just smile back…
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
The curtain closes, they’re throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They’re screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don’t believe what I’m seeing
Daddy it’s me, Help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding
But baby we’re in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden
I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren’t leavin
You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
And I bought you this coin, it says ‘Number One Dad
That’s all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
I get the point – fine, me and Mommy are going
But baby wait, “it’s too late Dad, you made your choice
Now go up there and show ’em that you love ’em more than us
That’s what they want, they want you Marshall
They keep… screamin’ your name
It’s no wonder you can’t go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn’t see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain, scream “Die Shady!” and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was
Supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That’s when I wake up, alarm clock’s ringin’, there’s birds singin
It’s spring and Hailie’s outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say…
