When I’m Gone Songtext
von Simple Plan

We′re doin' it

I look around me, but all I seem to see
Is people going nowhere, expecting sympathy
It′s like we're going through the motions of a scripted destiny
Tell me, where's our inspiration?
If life won′t wait, I guess it′s up to me (whoa)

No, we're not gonna waste another moment in this town (whoa)
We won′t come back, the world is callin' out (whoa)
Leave the past in the past, gonna find the future
If misery loves company, well, so long
You′ll miss me when I'm gone (oh, oh, oh)
You′re gonna miss me when I'm gone (oh, oh, oh)

Procrastination, runnin' circles in my head
While you sit there contemplatin′, you wound up left for dead (you′re left for dead)
Life is what happens while you're busy making your excuses
Another day, another casualty
But that won′t happen to me (whoa)


No, we're not gonna waste another moment in this town (whoa)
We won′t come back, the world is callin' out (whoa)
Leave the past in the past, gonna find the future
If misery loves company, well, so long
You′ll miss me when I'm gone (oh, oh, oh)
You're gonna miss me when I′m gone (oh, oh, oh)

You′re gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I′m gone
Let's go!

Won′t look back when I say goodbye
I'm gonna leave this hole behind me
Gonna take what′s mine tonight
'Cause every wasted day becomes a wasted chance
You're gonna wake up feeling sorry
′Cause life won′t wait, I guess it's up to you (whoa)

No, we′re not gonna waste another moment in this town (whoa)
We won't come back, the world is callin′ out (whoa)
Leave the past in the past, gonna find the future
If misery loves company, well, so long
You'll miss me when I′m gone (oh, oh, oh)
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone (oh, oh, oh)

You′re gonna miss me when I′m gone (oh, oh, oh)
You're gonna miss me when I′m gone (oh, oh, oh)
You're gonna miss me when I′m gone
