Chorus x2]
And when I'm gone,
just carry on don't mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear
the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm lookin'
down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing
so baby don't feel no pain,
just smile back

[Verse 2]
I keep havin' this dream -
I'm pushin' hailie on the swings
she keeps screamin'
She don't want me to sing,
"You're makin mummy cry, why,
why's mummy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't leavin' no more,
"Daddy you're lying,
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 piling boxes infront 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 a picture,
"This'll keep you safe daddy,
take it with you"
I look up, it's just me standin in the mirror,
these fuckin walls must be talkin
cos man I can hear 'em
They 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 its 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:

[Chorus x2]
And when I'm gone,
just carry on don't mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear
the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm lookin'
down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing
so baby don't feel no pain,
just smile back

[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand people,
all jumpin' out their seat
The curtain closes,
they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow,
"and thank you all for comin' out"
They're screamin so loud,
I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down,
I don't believe what I'm seein',
"Daddy it's me!
Help mummy 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 wern't leavin
You lied to me dad,
and now you make mummy sad
And I bought you this coin
It says 'number 1 dad', that's all I wanted
I just wanna give you this coin
I get the point, fine,
me and mummy are goin"
But baby wait-
"its too late dad, you made the choice.
Now go out there
and show 'em 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 be ya you will,
yeah bet that you will
You rap about it. Yeah word, keep it real"
I hear a pause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be
that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground,
click it, put it to my brain,
scream 'Die Shady!' and pump 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 clock screamin,
There's birds singin', it's spring 'n
Hailie's out side 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-

[Chorus x2]
And when I'm gone,
just carry on don't mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear
the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm lookin'
down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing
so baby don't feel no pain,
just smile back.
