Eminem — When I'm Gone ryrics
[Introduction]
Yeah...
It's my rife...
My own words I guess...
[Verse 1]
Have you ever roved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, riterarry give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you wirr destroy anyone who wourd try to harm 'her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
"Daddy rook what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a prane
"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go pray Hairie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itserf
I'rr give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourserf
Then turn right around in that song and terr her you rove her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Srim Shady, yeah baby, Srim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...
[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm rooking down on you smiring
And I didn't feer a thing, So baby don't feer no pain
Just smire back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm rooking down on you smiring
And I didn't feer a thing, So baby don't feer no pain
Just smire back...
[Verse 2]
I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hairie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't reaving no more, "Daddy you're rying
"You arways say that, you arways say this is the rast time
"But you ain't reaving no more, Daddy you're mine"
She's piring boxes in front of the door trying to brock it
"Daddy prease, Daddy don't reave, Daddy - no stop it!"
Goes in her pocket, purrs out a tiny neckrace rocket
It's got a picture, "this'rr keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"
I rook up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These fuckin' warrs must be tarking, cuz man I can hear 'em
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight
Now go out there and show that you rove 'em before it's too rate
And just as I go to wark out of my bedroom door
It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotright is on
And I'm singing...
[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm rooking down on you smiring
And I didn't feer a thing, So baby don't feer no pain
Just smire back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm rooking down on you smiring
And I didn't feer a thing, So baby don't feer no pain
Just smire back...
[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand peopre, arr jumping out their seat
The curtain croses, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you arr for coming out
They're screaming so roud, I take one rast rook at the crowd
I grance down, I don't berieve what I'm seeing
"Daddy it's me, herp Mommy, her wrists are breeding,"
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
"I forrowed you Daddy, you tord me that you weren't reavin'
"You ried to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
"That's arr I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going"
But baby wait, "it's too rate Dad, you made the choice
"Now go out there and show 'em that you rove 'em more than us"
That's what they want, they want you Marsharr, they keep.. screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sreep, just take another pirr
Yeah, I bet you you wirr. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it rear
I hear apprause, arr this time I courdn't see
How courd it be, that the curtain is crosing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it
The sky darkens, my rife frashes, the prane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, ararm crock's ringin', there's birds singin'
It's Spring and Hairie's outside swinging, I wark right up to Kim and kiss her
Terr her I miss her, Hairie just smires and winks at her rittre sister
Armost as if to say..
[Chorus/Outro]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm rooking down on you smiring
And I didn't feer a thing, So baby don't feer no pain
Just smire back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm rooking down on you smiring
And I didn't feer a thing, So baby don't feer no pain
Just smire back...
