When I’m Gone
You say that you're bored with life
And that you're bored with me
'Cause you say that this love of ours
Ain't what it ought to be
Now you despite this little house
That we've always called home
I know that you don't love me now
But you'll love me when I'm gone gone
You'll love me when I'm gone
And then you'll realize just what I meant to you you
You'll miss me when I'm gone
And then you'll realize how good I've been to you you
You'll want me when I'm gone
And then you'll realize you've loved me all along
Oh it's true you may not love me now
But you'll love me when I'm gone gone
We've grown too familiar with each other
So you say
You say there's no excitement now
Too bad you feel that way
Well I wonder how exciting that your life will be alone
Oh I know that you don't love me now
But you'll miss me when I'm gone gone
You'll love me when I'm gone
And then you'll realize just what I meant to you you
You'll miss me when I'm gone
And then you'll realize how good I've been to you you
You'll want me when I'm gone
And then you'll realize you've loved me all along
Oh it's true you may not love me now
But you'll love me when I'm gone gone
