I saw my life as an hourgla** A grain of sand was an hour pa**ed And you were there standing next to me Against the walls of eternity You turned to me but I looked away The saddest word written on your face And I couldn't say what I was waiting for So I felt the walls for an open door You're gonna miss me when I'm gone When I awoke, you were next to me I held my breath; you were still asleep As I remembered the strangest dream It came together and came to me That I never knew what you were looking for So I kept my eye on that open door You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone Gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone Gonna miss me when I'm gone Here's a word that never was spoken Here's a promise you should have broken I took the blame then next you were leaving I pour a drink to block out the feeling On a bus away from the city Headed east across the country Hit the coast, and I started laughing You're going to miss me when I'm gone Don't you ever think you were unworthy I took the blame when I took a bow I am alone for the rest of my journey However long I will be allowed You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
