When I'm gone lyrics

The time for us to say goodbye is near

The day I hoped would never come is here

Though many hearts are broken we must somehow carry on

Cause I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I thought my life was over when we met

So little to remember, so much to forget

Though it was you who saw me through the darkness to the dawn

Still I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I'm a modest man

And it hurts me to say these things to you

After all we've been through it's the least that I can do

So instead of just goodbye I'll say so long

And as for the light by which you see me leave it on

I'm a better man than I was before

knowing you has made me strong

and I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone

Yes I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone
