When I’m Dead Lyrics by Eddie And The Getaway

2025

[Verse 1]
Always loved you in a black dress
'Cause you said you felt beautiful
Never took you for an actress
Didn't know you were miserable
So I let you down for the last time
Without you, I've got nothing left
I'll see myself out, don't say goodbye
'Cause you saw it coming

[Chorus]
When I'm gone
And you've got everything that you want
Will you be standing there crying alone?
Is it easier letting me go?
'Cause it's eating you alive
And you'll bury me with words that you never said
Will you love me when I'm dead?

[Verse 2]
I know that you thought that you could fix me
But you'll wish you ran when you had the chance
When you're broken, staring down six feet
Pouring out the whiskey, just to miss me

[Chorus]
When I'm gone
And you've got everything that you want
Will you be standing there crying alone?
Is it easier letting me go?
'Cause it's eating you alive
And you'll bury me with words that you never said
Would it kill you to just forget
Everything we tore apart in the end?
Will you love me when I'm dead?

[Post-Chorus]
(Love me when I'm dead)

[Chorus]
When I'm gone
And you've got everything that you want
Will you be standing there crying alone?
Is it easier letting me go?
'Cause it's eating you alive
And you'll bury me with words that you never said
Would it kill you to just forget
Everything we tore apart in the end?
Will you love me when I'm dead?
