You Only Want Me When I’m Gone Lyrics by Jeffrey Chan

2021

So tell me if I’m being too blunt
Are my words breaking your bones
Cause I want to be up front with you
Got opinions of my own
So you say that I’m falling, in your words “I’m way behind”
And the reasons that you give mess with my mind
So you want me, you got me
I’m trying to just see why
You only want me when I’m gone
Cause I know you don’t think about me at all
You only want me when it’s cold
And when it’s dark and you have no one else to hold
All the times we shared, and the mess we made, all the love I gave away
You only want me when I’m gone
Cause I know you don’t think about me at all
You only want me when I’m gone
Every little thing that you say
It just cuts like a knife
And in the heat of the moment I bleed
When we just scream and we fight
So I think that you’re reckless, in my words “you never try ”
And the reasons that I give don’t sit quite right
But you want me, you got me
I’m trying to just see why
You only want me when I’m gone
Cause I know you don’t think about me at all
You only want me when it’s cold
And when it’s dark and you have no one else to hold
All the times we shared, and the mess we made, all the love I gave away
You only want me when I’m gone
Cause I know you don’t think about me at all
You only want me when I’m gone
You only want me when I’m gone
Cause I know you don’t think about me at all
You only want me when it’s cold
And when it’s dark and you have no one else to hold
All the times we shared, and the mess we made, all the love I gave away
You only want me when I’m gone
Cause I know you don’t think about me at all
You only want me when I’m gone
