When I'm Gone Lyrics - Curtain Call - Eminem

Yeah... 

It's my life... 

In my own words, I guess... 

Have you ever loved someone so much you'd give an arm for? 

Not the expression 

No, literally give an arm for 

When they know they're your heart and you know you were their armor 

And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her 

But what happens when karma 

Turns right around and bites you 

And everything you stand for turns on you despite you 

What happens when you become the main source of pain

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

"Daddy look what I made" 

Dad's gotta go catch a plane 

"Daddy where's mommy?" 

"I can't find mommy, where is she?" 

I don't know, go play, Hailie, baby, your daddy's busy 

Daddy's writin' a song, the song ain't gon' write itself 

I'll give you one underdog, then you got to swing by yourself 

Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her 

And put hands on her mother, who's a spittin' image of her 

That's Slim Shady 

Yeah, baby, Slim Shady's crazy 

Shady made me, but tonight, Shady's rock-a-bye-baby, huh... 

And when I'm gone, just carry on 

Don't mourn, rejoice everytime you hear the sound of my voice 

Just know that, I'm lookin' down on you smilin' 

And I didn't feel a thing, so baby 

Don't feel no pain, just smile back

And when I'm gone, just carry on 

Don't mourn, rejoice everytime you hear the sound of my voice 

Just know that, I'm lookin' down on you smilin' 

And I didn't feel a thing, so baby 

Don't feel no pain, just smile back 

I keep havin' this dream 

I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing 

She keeps screamin', she don't want me to sing 

"You're makin' mommy cry" 

"Why? Why is mommy cryin'?" 

"Baby, daddy ain't leavin' no more" 

"Daddy you're lyin'" 

"You always say that, you always say this is the last time" 

"But you ain't leavin' no more, daddy you're mine" 

She's pilin' boxes in front of the door tryin' to block it 

"Daddy please, daddy don't leave, daddy, no, stop it" 

Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket, it's got her picture 

"This'll keep you safe daddy, take it with ya" 

I look up, it's just me standin' in the mirror 

These fuckin' walls must be talkin' 'cause man I can hear 'em 

They're sayin' you got one more chance to do right and it's tonight 

Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em 'fore it's too late 

And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door it turns to a stage 

They're gone, and the spotlight is on and I'm singin' 

And when I'm gone, just carry on 

Don't mourn, rejoice everytime you hear the sound of my voice 

Just know that, I'm lookin' down on you smilin' 

And I didn't feel a thing, so baby 

Don't feel no pain, just smile back 

And when I'm gone, just carry on 

Don't mourn, rejoice everytime you hear the sound of my voice 

Just know that, I'm lookin' down on you smilin' 

And I didn't feel a thing, so baby 

Don't feel no pain, just smile back 

Sixty thousand people, all jumpin' out their seats 

The curtain closes, they're throwin' roses at my feet 

I take a bow and thank you all for comin' out 

They're screamin' so loud I'll take one last look at the crowd 

I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seein' 

"Daddy it's me, help mommy, her wrists are bleedin'" 

But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden? 

"I followed you daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'" 

"You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad" 

"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'" 

"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin" 

"I get the point, fine, me and mommy are goin'" 

But baby, wait! 

"It's too late, dad, you made the choice" 

"Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us" 

"That's what they want, they want you Marshall they keep" 

"Screamin' your name, it's no wonder you can't go to sleep" 

"Just take another pill, yeah, I bet that you will" 

"You rap about it" 

"Yeah, word, k-k-keep it real" 

I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see 

How could it be that the curtain is closin' on me? 

I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it 

Put it to my brain, scream "Die, Shady!" and pop it 

The sky darkens, my life flashes 

The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes 

That's when I wake up, alarm clocks ringin' 

There's birds singin' 

It's spring and Hailie's outside swingin' 

I walk right up to Kim and kiss her, tell her I miss her 

Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister 

Almost as if to... say 

And when I'm gone, just carry on 

Don't mourn, rejoice everytime you hear the sound of my voice 

Just know that, I'm lookin' down on you smilin' 

And I didn't feel a thing, so baby 

Don't feel no pain, just smile back 

And when I'm gone, just carry on 

Don't mourn, rejoice everytime you hear the sound of my voice 

Just know that, I'm lookin' down on you smilin' 

And I didn't feel a thing, so baby 

Don't feel no pain 

Just smile back
