| I played the fool
|
| Did bad by you
|
| The tide rolled through
|
| And swept me away from you
|
| And when we meet again
|
| As lovers or as friends
|
| The melody ends in blue
|
| Perfect love is like a song
|
| It never lasts for long
|
| You’re going to miss me when I’m gone
|
| (We're going to miss you when you’re gone)
|
| A sacred name
|
| Your vagrant flame
|
| A cruel, cruel game
|
| That you didn’t want to play
|
| So you read it in the news
|
| That doesn’t make it true
|
| I’ve nothing to prove to you
|
| A mother’s only son
|
| But now he’s on the run
|
| (You're going to miss me)
|
| You’re going to miss me when I’m gone
|
| (You're going to miss me when I’m gone)
|
| You’re going to miss me when I’m gone
|
| (Gonna miss me, you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone)
|
| It couldn’t be contained
|
| The pleasure was the pain
|
| But I’d do it all again
|
| The candle burning twice as strong
|
| Burns for half as long
|
| You’re going to miss me when I’m gone
|
| (Gonna miss me, you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone)
|
| You’re going to miss me when I’m gone
|
| (You're going to miss me when I’m gone)
|
| You’re going to miss me when I’m…
|
| Gone…
|
| (I'm sorry that you’re leaving)
|
| (We're gonna miss you when you’re gone)
|
| (Here today and gone tomorrow)
|
| (Where's the time that you would borrow?)
|
| You’re going to miss me when I’m… |
