When I’m Gone
Alesso Lyrics

When I'm gone, I'm never really gone
Even after I am no longer in your life, I will still occupy your thoughts and emotions

You think you're movin' on
You believe that you are leaving me behind and moving forward with your life

But it won't be for long, you'll see
Your attempts to forget me and move on will only last for a short amount of time before you realize that I still hold a place in your heart

Thought it would be easy
You assumed that forgetting about me and our memories together would be effortless

Easy to forget me
You believed that erasing the memories of our relationship would be a simple task

Let go of the memories (ah)
Forget about the emotions and experiences we shared together

Now your bed is empty
After our relationship ended, you may feel lonely and empty without me beside you

You're waking up sweating
You may have nightmares or dream about me, making it difficult to move on

I'm still in your wild dreams
Even in your wildest and most subconscious dreams, I am still present in them

Late nights callin' me, callin' me
At night, when you are alone and vulnerable, you may feel the need to communicate with me

Do anything to keep me close
You may attempt to do whatever it takes to keep me connected to your life

Well, you should know it's gonna be, gonna be
You should be aware that it will be challenging to let go of me and our memories together

So hard for you to let me go
It will be challenging for you to accept that our relationship has come to an end and to move on

Me on top of you
The physical and emotional connection we shared in our relationship

Touch you like I do
No one else will be able to touch or connect with you in the same way that I did

No, you'll never forget
You will never forget the experiences and emotions we shared together

You're chasin' the danger
You may be engaging in risky or dangerous behavior as a way of coping with the loss of our relationship

It's just in your nature
Your behavior and actions are a part of who you are and how you cope with difficult situations

Look for me in strangers (ah)
You may search for someone who reminds you of me or who can replace the connection we shared

All these pretty faces
Despite the presence of other people, no one will ever replace the emotional connection we shared together

No one can replace it
The emotional and physical connection we shared cannot be replaced by anyone else

I'm always your favorite
Despite our relationship ending, I still hold a special place in your heart as your favorite

When I'm gone, I'm never really gone
Even though our relationship has ended, I will always occupy your thoughts and emotions

But no one's gonna feel like, feel like me
No one else will be able to replace the emotional connection and experiences we shared together
