"When I'm Gone" lyrics

I've been, been so dependent my whole life
Now it's my turn to make sure you're alright
But I'm leaving and I know that it keeps you up all night
If it's healing, I'll say it a million more times

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Don't shed a tear no
You gotta carry on
Carry on
Time's always running out
When you're counting the years
There's nothing to fear
I'll always be here

I hope you find who you were before me
Let go and loosen the burden you carry
Though we're apart I still feel you in all of my memories
Even with distance the moon still has hold of the blue sea

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Don't shed a tear no
You gotta carry on
Carry on
Time's always running out
When you're counting the years
There's nothing to fear
I'll always be here

And though we're apart
I feel you in my heart
Though we're apart
I feel you in my heart

When I'm gone
Don't shed a tear no
You gotta carry on
Time's always running out
When you're counting the years
I'll always be here
