When I\'m Gone I saw my life as an hourglass A grain of sand was an hour passed And you were there standing next to me Against the walls of eternity You turned to me but I looked away The saddest word written on your face And I couldn't say what I was waiting for So I felt the walls for an open door You're gonna miss me when I'm gone when I awoke, you were next to me I held my breath; you were still asleep As I remembered the strangest dream It came together and came to me That I never knew what you were looking for So I kept my eye on that open door Gonna miss me when I'm gone Here's a word that never was spoken Here's a promise you should have broken I took the blame then next you were leaving I pour a drink to block out the feeling On a bus away from the city Headed east across the country Hit the coast, and I started laughing You're going to miss me when I'm gone Don't you ever think you were unworthy I took the blame when I took a bow Don't you ever think you were unworthy(You're gonna miss me when I'm gone) I took the blame when I took a bow(You're gonna miss me when I'm gone) I am alone for the rest of my journey(You're gonna miss me when I'm gone) However long I will be allowed(You're gonna miss me when I'm gone)
