When I'm Gone Lyrics - Singles - We Shot The Moon

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 

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone 

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone 

Gonna miss me when I'm gone 

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone 

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 

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone 

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone 

Gonna miss me when I'm gone 

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone 

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 

I am alone for the rest of my journey 

However long I will be allowed 

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
