I'm Gone
The Grapes of Wrath (Canada) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So there you are, standing all alone
Watching love's dream, feeling so alone
I wonder why, why you are alive
And I wonder why, why you live your life day to day
I'll remember when I'm gone
I'll remember, then I'll be back again

So now I'm gone, but soon I'll reappear

You look at me as if you didn't care
I wonder why, why you are alive
And I wonder why, why you live your life day to day

I'll remember when I'm gone
I'll remember, then I'll be back again
