When I'm Gone

I saw my life as an hourglass
 A grain of sand was an hour passed
 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
 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.
