When I'm Gone

How did things end up the way that they did
Is it my fault
That you never saw me for me
And only saw all of my flaws
That you never called and I was okay with that
Cause at the end of the day
I always would find an excuse
To tell myself that everything is okay
Maybe I'm just not the son that you wanted
And maybe I'm fine with that
Cause I'm tired of hoping that one of these days
You'll change and finally love me back
It's pretty sad huh
That we never understand each other
And this the last time that you'll see my face
Because this goodbyes forever
Id always try to find reason
Then you'd give me another
To never trust a single word that I ever hear from you
But it's okay
Cause there's never gonna be another let down
Cause Its far far too late now
And I'm looking down from a better place now

Do you think about me when I'm gone
When I'm not around will you sing this song
I found love in you
You found love in me
No matter what you do
I will always be with you

I know that I'm working as hard as I can
Asking God if he proud of me
The devil been testing my faith
Every night I can feel him surrounding me
I just need you by my side
Cause then I got nothing to fear
I have been taking some time
To finally connect with the man in the mirror
Thank you for seeing my dreams
And sticking with me through everything
Swear I'd be lost in this world
If I went a day without you being right next to me
You saw the struggle of the man that I was
And the one that I tried to be
You knew all of my pain
And knew I struggled with demons
I had deep inside of me
I know that goodbye is the hardest
Especially to someone who's physically part of you
Let our son know that I love him
And that I'm always looking down on the both of you
Wish I could take all your pain
Take it with me to the grave
Cause I know for now I am gone
But know I'll miss you everyday

Do you think about me when I'm gone
When I'm not around will you sing this song
I found love in you
You found love in me
No matter what you do
I will always be with you

Hate that things ended the way that they did
Still got a lot to say
A lot of my bridges were burned
And still had a lot on my plate
You were the cause of my hurt
And the reason I wasn't okay
Talking to God and he told me
That everything is falling right into place
But this is our last face to face
Last time to say anything that you need
No longer am judged
By the things everyone see's
I am finally free
I see people posting bout how much
They say that they always had loved the real me
But they didn't know me at all
They only knew things I allowed them to see
Just cause I was good on my own
Didn't mean I didn't miss you
Tried to convince you to change
And that was just another one of our issues
But its okay
Cause today is the day the I take all the blame
And know I'm okay
Cause I'm looking down from a better place

Do you think about me when I'm gone
When I'm not around will you sing this song
I found love in you
You found love in me
No matter what you do
I will always be with you

Do you think about me when I'm gone
When I'm not around will you sing this song
(Will you, sing it for me)
I found love in you
(Yeah)
You found love in me
(Yeah)
No matter what you do
(Yeah)
I will always be with you
