When I’m Gone
While my back begins to break again
I'll take the weight and carry it
I don't know how much more that I can fake
I'll just fill my lungs with smoke again
I'll drive this lonely road again
I think I give way more than I can take
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Please don't tell me that someone might
Take my place
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Keep that filthy piece of shit from where I lay
Fill my brain with chemicals 'cause that's
Just what the doctors say
Might help me to relieve some of this pain
My blood is solely alcohol, depression meds
And adderall
I've gotta pick up scraps of what remains
They say, "you're too young to throw
It all away"
I'm always too far and far too late to
Fix all my mistakes
It's May and summer's on its way
I miss rain, I know I miss my face,
It's so strange, I know I knew this place
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Please don't tell me that someone
Might take my place
When i'm gone, when I'm gone
Keep that filthy piece of shit from where I lay
Can't stop, won't stop, guess I'm sinning again
Truck stops, motels, where I'm living again
You don't keep tabs on where I stay
Bar hops, car stops, guess I'm drinking again
Can you blame me for when i'm giving in?
I can't feel shit when I'm on stage
What would you have me do?
I'm high at six and drunk at noon
I wish I knew which way, which way to go
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Please don't tell me that someone might
Take my place
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Keep that filthy piece of shit from
Where I lay
I'll take the weight and carry it
I don't know how much more that I can fake
I'll just fill my lungs with smoke again
I'll drive this lonely road again
I think I give way more than I can take
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Please don't tell me that someone might
Take my place
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Keep that filthy piece of shit from where I lay
Fill my brain with chemicals 'cause that's
Just what the doctors say
Might help me to relieve some of this pain
My blood is solely alcohol, depression meds
And adderall
I've gotta pick up scraps of what remains
They say, "you're too young to throw
It all away"
I'm always too far and far too late to
Fix all my mistakes
It's May and summer's on its way
I miss rain, I know I miss my face,
It's so strange, I know I knew this place
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Please don't tell me that someone
Might take my place
When i'm gone, when I'm gone
Keep that filthy piece of shit from where I lay
Can't stop, won't stop, guess I'm sinning again
Truck stops, motels, where I'm living again
You don't keep tabs on where I stay
Bar hops, car stops, guess I'm drinking again
Can you blame me for when i'm giving in?
I can't feel shit when I'm on stage
What would you have me do?
I'm high at six and drunk at noon
I wish I knew which way, which way to go
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Please don't tell me that someone might
Take my place
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
Keep that filthy piece of shit from
Where I lay
