Eminem - When I'm Gone (Promo Only clean edit) lyrics

Yeah It's my life My own words I guess 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 armor 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 to spite 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 in 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 rock-a-bye baby 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 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 pilling 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 with ya." I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror These f**in' 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 turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on And I'm singing 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 60,000 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, co*k 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 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
