[Verse 1]
You cheated, you lied to me, you can't pretend
This thing can't go on, this has to end
There's more to lovin', there's more than just the thrill of the chase
You say you're sorry but you leave a bitter taste

[Chorus]
If you want me around, stop bringing me down
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone (When I'm gone)
If you want me around, stop working it out
You're gonna want me to stay, I'll be gone

[Verse 2]
You told me you love me but we're not even friends
This thing can't go on, this has to end
My biggest mistake is that I gave you too much
Love can never work without trust

[Chorus]
If you want me around, stop bringing me down
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone (When I'm gone)
If you want me around, stop working it out
You're gonna want me to stay, I'll be gone
Don't bring me down, I'll be gone
Don't bring me down, I'll be gone
[Verse 1]
You cheated, you lied to me, you can't pretend
This thing can't go on, this has to end
There's more to lovin', there's more than just the thrill of the chase
You say you're sorry but you leave a bitter taste

[Chorus]
If you want me around, stop bringing me down
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone (When I'm gone)
If you want me around, stop working it out
You're gonna want me to stay, I'll be gone
If you want me around, stop bringing me down
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone (When I'm gone)
If you want me around, stop working it out
You're gonna want me to stay, I'll be gone
If you want me around, stop bringing me down
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone (When I'm gone)
If you want me around, stop working it out
You're gonna want me to stay, I'll be gone
If you want me around, stop bringing me down
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone (When I'm gone)
If you want me around, stop working it out
You're gonna want me to stay, I'll be gone
