Iâ??ve seen the writing on the wall
Iâ??ve read the verdict in your eyes
The way you whisper on the phone, when you think youâ??re all alone

Says that youâ??ve been telling lies

I bet you thought Iâ??d never know

Iâ??m sure you guessed Iâ??d be surprised
Thatâ??s why you tried to play it cool, tired to play me like a fool
But I can read between the lines


You know I never tried to bring you down
When times were tough I hung around

But now this heart you took for granted
Is finally leaving town



And when Iâ??m gone, tell me how will you make it alone?
When you find that youâ??re on your own

And there ainâ??t no one home you can lean on baby
When Iâ??m gone, tell me who will be turning you on?
Youâ??ll be lonely before too longâ?¦When Iâ??m gone



I should have listened to my friends

I could have saved myself the pain
They told me time and time again, you would hurt me in the end
So I guess that Iâ??m to blame


Never thought Iâ??d ever have to feel this way
So broken down and so betrayed

But I know the pain you caused me
Will all come back to you someday






And when Iâ??m gone, tell me how will you make it alone?
When you find that youâ??re on your own
And there ainâ??t no one home you can lean on baby

When Iâ??m gone, tell me who will be turning you on?
Youâ??ll be lonely before too longâ?¦When Iâ??m gone



Donâ??t you know I never tried to bring you down
When times were tough I hung around

But now this heart you took for granted
Is finally leaving town



And when Iâ??m gone, tell me how will you make it alone?
When you find that youâ??re on your own

And there ainâ??t no one home you can lean on baby
When Iâ??m gone, tell me who will be turning you on?
Youâ??ll be lonely before too longâ?¦When Iâ??m gone


Youâ??ll be lonely before too longâ?¦When Iâ??m gone
