When I'm gone

  1. [Introduction]
  2. Yeah...
  3. It's my life...
  4. My own words I guess...
  5.  
  6. [Verse 1]
  7. Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
  8. Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
  9. When they know they're your heart
  10. And you know you were their armour
  11. And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
  12. But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
  13. And everything you stand for, turns on you to spite you?
  14. What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
  15. "Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
  16. "Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
  17. I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
  18. Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself
  19. I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
  20. Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
  21. And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
  22. That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
  23. Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka by baby...
  24.  
  25. [Chorus]
  26. And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
  27. Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
  28. Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
  29. And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
  30. Just smile back
  31. And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
  32. Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
  33. Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
  34. And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
  35. Just smile back...
  36.  
  37. [Verse 2]
  38. I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
  39. She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
  40. "You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
  41. Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying"
  42. "You always say that, you always say this is the last time
  43. But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"
  44. She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
  45. "Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy no stop it!"
  46. Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
  47. It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"
  48. I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
  49. These fuckin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
  50. They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" and it's tonight
  51. Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em before it's too late
  52. And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
  53. It turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
  54. And I'm singing...
  55.  
  56. [Chorus]
  57. And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
  58. Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
  59. Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
  60. And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
  61. Just smile back
  62. And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
  63. Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
  64. Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
  65. And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
  66. Just smile back...
  67.  
  68. [Verse 3]
  69. Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
  70. The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
  71. I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
  72. They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
  73. I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
  74. "Daddy it's me, Help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding"
  75. But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
  76. "I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
  77. "You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
  78. "And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
  79. "That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin"
  80. "I get the point fine, me and Mommy are gone"
  81. But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
  82. "Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"
  83. That's what they want, they want you Marshall
  84. They keep.. screamin' your name
  85. It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
  86. Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k keep it real
  87. I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
  88. How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
  89. I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
  90. Put it to my brain, scream "Die Shady!" and pop it
  91. The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was
  92. Supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
  93. That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
  94. It's spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
  95. Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
  96. Almost as if to say
  97.  
  98. [Chorus/Outro]
  99. And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
  100. Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
  101. Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
  102. And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
  103. Just smile back
  104. And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
  105. Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
  106. Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
  107. And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
  108. Just smile back...
