When I'm Gone
All the little things that I do lately, seems to make you mad
someday you'll think back of these things and be sad
All the little things that work on your nerves, as the day is long
someday you'll realize that you deserved, when I'm gone
All the little things just seem to cause you pain
someday you'll realize, I didn't cause your rain
All the little things you say I did wrong
will be the things you miss most, when I'm gone
All the little things that seem to make you blue
someday will be the things that make you smile, when we're through
All the times you had to get the last word at the sound of the gong
will seem so absurd, when I'm gone
All the times you just had to play your song
someday you'll realize there was a place it didn't belong
All the times you did things that you knew were wrong
someday maybe you'll understand, when I'm gone
All the times you just had to be right
someday will seem dumb, when I'm out of sight
All the times that everything had to be your way, when it's all said and done
someday you'll see it was one of many things that drove me away, when I'm gone
Although I know the times may be rare
someday you might look back and wish you had cared
There will come a time for the old times you will long
but all you will have are memories, when I'm gone

You will still be my true love.
I will still long for you.
My dreams will be saturated with thoughts of you.
I will still reach

After I leave you I'll finally be free
I can breathe a lot easier I can smile and be me
After I leave you I can hang with

After I leave You

Spirits rise out of shadows,
ghostly echoes of laughter are heard
amidst the tears of left over
I love yous.
