Eminem - When I'm
Gone
[Introduction]
Yeah...
It's my life...
My own words I guess...
[Verse 1]
Have you ever loved
someone so much,
you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no,
literally give an arm
for?
When they know
they're your heart
And you know you
were their armour
And you will destroy
anyone who would try
to harm 'em
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 a pain?
"Daddy look what I
made", Dad's gotta go
catch a plane
"Daddy where's
Mommy? I can't find
Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go play
Hailie, baby, your
Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing this
song, this song ain't
gonna write itself
I'll give you one
underdog then you
gotta swing by
yourself
Then turn right around
on that song and tell
her you love her
And put hands on her
mother, who's a
spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah
baby, Slim 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
looking down on you
smiling
And I didn't feel a
thing, So baby don't
feel no pain
Just smile 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
looking down on you
smiling
And I didn't feel a
thing, So baby don't
feel no pain
Just smile back...
[Verse 2]
I keep having this
dream, I'm pushin' Hailie
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
leaving no more,
"Daddy you're lying
"You always say that,
you always say this is
the last time
"But you ain't leaving
no more, Daddy you're
mine"
She's piling boxes in
front of the door
trying to block it
"Daddy please, Daddy
don't leave, Daddy - no
stop it!"
Goes in her pocket,
pulls out a tiny
necklace locket
It's got a picture,
"this'll keep you safe
Daddy, take it
withcha'"
I look up, it's just me
standing in the mirror
These fuckin' walls
must be talking, 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 love 'em
before it's too late
And just as I go to
walk out of my
bedroom door
It's turns to a stage,
they're gone, and this
spotlight 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
looking down on you
smiling
And I didn't feel a
thing, So baby don't
feel no pain
Just smile 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
looking down on you
smiling
And I didn't feel a
thing, So baby don't
feel no pain
Just smile back...
[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand people,
all jumping out their
seat
The curtain closes,
they're throwing roses
at my feet
I take a bow and thank
you all for coming out
They're screaming so
loud, I take one last
look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't
believe what I'm seeing
"Daddy it's me, help
Mommy, her wrists are
bleeding,"
But baby we're in
Sweden, how did you
get to Sweden?
"I followed you Daddy,
you told me that you
weren't leavin'
"You lied to me Dad,
and now you make
Mommy sad
"And I bought you this
coin, it says 'Number
One Dad'
"That's all I wanted, I
just want to give you
this coin
"I get the point - fine,
me and Mommy are
gone"
But baby wait, "it's too
late Dad, you made the
choice
"Now go up there and
show 'em that you love
'em more than us"
That's what they
want, they want you
Marshall, they keep..
screamin' your name
It's no wonder you
can't go to sleep, just
take another pill
Yeah, I bet you you
will. You rap about it,
yeah, word, k-keep it
real
I hear applause, all this
time I couldn't see
How could it be, that
the curtain is closing
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
life flashes, the plane
that I was supposed to
be on crashes and
burns to ashes
That's when I wake up,
alarm clock's ringin',
there's birds singin'
It's Spring and Hailie's
outside swinging, I walk
right up to Kim and
kiss her
Tell her I miss her,
Hailie just smiles and
winks at her little
sister
Almost 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
looking down on you
smiling
And I didn't feel a
thing, So baby don't
feel no pain
Just smile 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
looking down on you
smiling
And I didn't feel a
thing, So baby don't
feel no pain
Just smile back...
[Curtains closing and
sounds of footsteps]
