When I'm Gone Lyrics by Eminem Eminem
Below, you will find the lyrics for When I'm Gone by Eminem.
It's my life
My own words I guess
Verse 1
Have you ever loved someone so much
You'd give an arm for?
Verse 1
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
Verse 1
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her
But what happens when karma
Turns right around and bites you?
Verse 1
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 gonna write itself
Verse 1
I'll give you one underdog
Then you gotta swing by yourself
Verse 1
Then turn right around in that song
And tell her you love her
Verse 1
And put hands on her mother
Who's a spitting image of her
Verse 1
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby
Chorus 1
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 my pain
Just smile back
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
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 withcha''
Verse 2
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
They're saying, 'You've got one more chance to do right'
And it's tonight
Verse 2
Now go out there and show
That you love 'em 'fore it's too late
Verse 2
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
And I'm singing
Chorus 2
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 my pain
Just smile back
Chorus 2
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
Verse 3
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 goin''
But baby wait, 'It's too late dad, you made the choice
Now go out there and show'em
That you love'em more than us'
Verse 3
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
Verse 3
Yeah, I bet 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 and 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
Verse 3
That's when I wake up
Alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
Verse 3
It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her
Verse 3
Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say
Chorus 3
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 my pain
Just smile back
Chorus 3
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
