You Are Going to Miss Me When I Am Gone by Kirin J Callinan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I played the fool
Did bad by you
The tide rolled through
And swept me away from you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And when we meet again
As lovers or as friends
The melody ends in blue
Perfect love is like a song
It never lasts for long

[Chorus]
You're going to miss me when I'm gone
(We're going to miss you when you're gone)

[Verse 2]
A sacred name
Your vagrant flame
A cruel, cruel game
That you didn't want to play
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So you read it in the news
That doesn't make it true
I've nothing to prove to you
A mother's only son
But now he's on the run

[Chorus]
(You're going to miss me)
You're going to miss me when I'm gone
(You're going to miss me when I'm gone)
You're going to miss me when I'm gone
(Gonna miss me, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone)

[Bridge]
It couldn't be contained
The pleasure was the pain
But I'd do it all again
The candle burning twice as strong
Burns for half as long

[Chorus]
You're going to miss me when I'm gone
(Gonna miss me, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone)
You're going to miss me when I'm gone
(You're going to miss me when I'm gone)
You're going to miss me when I'm...
Gone...
[Outro]
(I'm sorry that you're leaving)
(We're gonna miss you when you're gone)
(Here today and gone tomorrow)
(Where's the time that you would borrow?)
You're going to miss me when I'm...
