A.J. Croce - When I'm Gone lyrics

When I'm Gone Written by A.J. Croce © 2006 Croce Publishung (ASCAP) It's peculiar she wants me by her side I'm like her cyanide she only really wants me when I'm gone When I'm near her she cuts me like a knife I wish for ten to life because she only wants me when I'm gone Chorus When I'm gone She don't need somebody else When I'm gone She can't take being by herself Complicated I'm just her ball and chain It's almost inhumane she only wants me when I'm gone She's a riddle that I can't figure out At least there is no doubt she only really wants when I'm gone Bridge It's a little bit confusing a little bit amusing But I just can't walk out that door I forget what life was like before
