You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
Miley Cyrus Lyrics

I've seen love go by my door
I have witnessed love before, but it was never as close as it is now.

It's never been this close before
I have never felt love as close as I do now.

Never been so easy or so slow.
This time, love is effortless and gradual.

Been shooting in the dark too long
I have been searching blindly for love for too long.

When somethin's not right it's wrong
When things in love are not right, they are completely wrong.

Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
When you leave, I will be so lonely.

Dragon clouds so high above
I see clouds high above that resemble dragons.

I've only known careless love,
In my past relationships, I only knew love that was careless and reckless.

It's always hit me from below.
That love has always come from unexpected directions and has struck me unexpectedly.

This time around it's more correct
This time, love feels right and accurate.

Right on target, so direct,
This love is on point and direct.

Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
When you leave, I will be so lonely.

Purple clover, Queen Anne lace,
I see flowers like purple clover and Queen Anne's lace.

Crimson hair across your face,
Your crimson hair falls across your face.

You could make me cry if you don't know.
If you are unaware, you have the power to bring me to tears.

Can't remember what I was thinkin' of
I cannot recall what I was thinking at that moment.

You might be spoilin' me too much, love,
You might be spoiling me with too much love and affection.

Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
When you leave, I will be so lonely.

Flowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy,
There are wild and crazy flowers blooming on the hillside.

Crickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme,
There are crickets chirping in harmonious conversation.

Blue river runnin' slow and lazy,
There is a slow and lazy blue river nearby.

I could stay with you forever
I could spend an eternity with you.

And never realize the time.
Time would pass so quickly that I wouldn't even realize it.

Situations have ended sad,
Previous situations and relationships have ended sadly.

Relationships have all been bad.
All of my past relationships have been negative.

Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud.
My relationships have been likened to the tumultuous and tragic relationship between Verlaine and Rimbaud.

But there's no way I can compare
I cannot compare my past relationships to what we have now.

All those scenes to this affair,
All of those past situations compared to our relationship.

Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
When you leave, I will be so lonely.

Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm doin',
You will make me question my actions when you are gone.

Stayin' far behind without you.
Being without you means falling behind in life.

Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin',
I will question my words and communication without you.

Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin' to.
When you're gone, I will have to talk some sense into myself.

I'll look for you in old Honolulu,
I'll look for you in the past, possibly in Honolulu.

San Francisco, Ashtabula,
I'll look for you in San Francisco or Ashtabula.

Yer gonna have to leave me now, I know.
I understand that you have to leave me now.

But I'll see you in the sky above,
But I will see you in the sky above.

In the tall grass, in the ones I love,
I see you in the tall grass and in the people I love.

Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
When you leave, I will be so lonely.
