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 despite 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 this song this song ain't gonna write itself

I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself

Then turn right around on 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 rock-a-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 lookin down on you smilin

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 lookin down on you smilin

And I didn t feel a thing so baby don t feel no pain just smile back

I keep havin this dream – I m pushin Hailie on the swing she keeps screamin

She don t want me to sing You re makin mommy cry why why is mommy crying

Baby Daddy ain t leavin no more

Daddy you're lying

You always say that you always say this is the last time

But you ain t leavin no more Daddy you re mine

She s piling boxes in front of the door tryin 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 standin in the mirror these ''f**kin'' walls must be talkin cuz man I can hear em

They're sayin you got one more chance to do right and it s tonight

Now go out there and show em that you love em *'fore its too late

And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door it turns to a stage they re gone

And the spotlight is on and I m singin

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 lookin down on you smilin

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 lookin down on you smilin

And I didn t feel a thing so baby don t feel no pain just smile back

Sixty thousand people all jumpin out their seat

The curtain closes they re throwing roses at my feet

I take a bow and thank you all for comin out

They re screamin so loud I take one last look at the crowd

I glance down I don t believe what I m seein

Daddy it s me Help mommy her wrists are bleedin

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 made mommy sad

And I bought you this coin

It says 'number 1 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-

Its too late dad you made your choice Now go out there and show em that you love em more than us

That s what they want

They want you Marshal 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 ** 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 swingin

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-

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 lookin down on you smilin

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 lookin down on you smilin

And I didn t feel a thing so baby don t feel no pain just smile back
