Shorty by my side yeah she my homie
Don't worry bout me no need to worry
I'll be home when you need me in a hurry
My story got such pain within its pages
This world made me so cold in different stages
I'm here on my knees i pray for changes
God protect me please my hearts in pieces
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone when I'm gone
They don't see my pain and what I'm going through
You only see my pain when it's shown to you
Heart is on my sleeve and I'm bleeding
Smile is on my face but it's deceiving
Tired of all this pain that I've been feeling
Sometimes I just wish that I stop breathing
I just pour my heart out when I'm in the booth
Please don't give me hope cause I need the truth
They will miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
They will miss me when I'm gone
