When I'm Gone
Holloway Brenda Lyrics

What are you gonna do when I'm gone
What actions will you take after I leave?

Whose shoulder are you gonna cry on
Who will you seek solace from when you are upset?

What are you gonna do on the day
What will you do when the day comes?

When I turn my head and just walk away
When I leave you for good without looking back.

What are you gonna say to your friends
What explanation will you give to your friends?

When the talk around town begins
When gossip about us starts circulating.

Will you tell them how you treated me bad
Will you reveal to them how you mistreated me?

Will you tell them how you made me so sad
Will you disclose how much you hurt me and made me unhappier?

'Cause you make some people
Because sometimes you make people

Think that you love me a lot
Believe that you love me deeply.

But they just don't know you
But they are not aware of your true self.

And what they see isn't what we've got
What they perceive is not what our relationship truly is.

We're happy in the public eye
We appear to be content and satisfied when seen by others.

They think you're such a wonderful guy
They hold the belief that you are kind and admirable.

But they don't know how much you've lied
But they do not realize the extent of your deceitfulness.

And they don't know how much I've cried
And they are not aware of how frequently I have shed tears.

You're a real Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
You have a dual personality, just like the character of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

You make a pass at
You try to hit on

Every girl that you see
Every girl you encounter.

Then when they hurt you
And when they let you down

You come running and crying to me
You turn to me for support and sympathy.

I comfort you whenever you're low
I console you whenever you are in distress.

And you don't have a place you can go
And you feel like you have nowhere else to turn to.

You put your head on my shoulder to cry
You lean on me for emotional support and cry.

And then you turn around and tell me a lie
And then despite all that you have done, you turn around and lie to me.

And I just can't take it
I cannot bear it any longer.

I've gotta make it now
I need to leave and move on now.

What are you gonna do when I'm gone
What actions will you take after I leave?

And what are you gonna do when I'm gone
What will you do once I have departed?

What are you gonna do when I'm gone
What action plan will you employ after my departure?

What are you gonna do when I'm gone
What are your plans after I have left your life?
