You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone


This sounds like another hundred songs
Makes it easier to sing along
And tell someone they'll miss you
When you're gone

The heartache wants what the heartache wants
Time to find another soul to haunt
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Wasting time and spinning wheels
I'm an expert at all the feels, yeah
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I never said I wasn't wrong
You never shied away from playing along

Stuck in traffic and I'm venomous
I wish there were such a thing as us
You may not miss me like I'll miss you

Soon, though, you may forget that you're adored
While you're staring sullen at the floor
And you'll find you wish I was there with you

Let's give the credit where it's due
What's meant to be may be what's brand new

Sad-sack sentiments and liquor stores
Will never get you back onto that shore
How on Earth could anyone miss someone like me?

Black clouds forever 'cause the sun's a taunt
I just need another soul to haunt me
Someone to miss when they are gone
