Well, it seems you thought it over And you feel I'm not the one And you think you might do better on your own. You say lover's vows only hold you down So I guess I'm moving on, But what'll you think about me when I'm gone, said and done? What will you think about me when I'm gone, said and done, When old memories fall like footsteps. Will you think it's me coming home? Well, I thought your eyes could see compromise, But that's one thing you've never done. What'll you think about me when I'm gone? Will some other's kiss taste sweeter Or will my pictures haunt your room? Will it make your nights pass easier Or will you think you were a fool When my pillow's bare and you're lying there, Will a heartache linger on? What'll you think about me when I'm gone? What'll you think about me when I'm gone?
