My last breath, I wanna take with a smile
And no regrets, no hope of turning back that dial
Let the story I've written be something worth leaving, we're leaving behind
When I'm gone, tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire, and I walked through a fire
That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on when I'm gone
Oh, oh
When I'm Gone
Tell him I left that town, but it never left my soul
That I settled down, but I never got old
If the house was packed and we all raised a gla** as the credits rolled
When I'm gone, tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire, and I walked through a fire
That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on when I'm gone
Time don't last forever
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Time don't last forever
Oh oh oh
When I'm gone (when I'm gone)
Did my life go on, go on, go on?
When I'm gone, tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire, and I walked through a fire
That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Oh, my last breath I wanna take with a smile
Oh oh oh when I'm gone
Oh oh oh when I'm gone
Oh oh oh when I'm gone
Oh oh oh when I'm gone
