when i'm gone i wanna come back
just to see the look on your faces
to watch the chairs start filling up
and count the empty spaces

you'll cry for a day
it'll all go away
and i'll be out of your hair

you'll have something to say
and you'll tell them to pray
and they'll all pretend to care

when i'm gone i wanna come back
'cause i know that it's all true
no one cares that i'm here, they won't care when i'm gone
but hey, what can you do...
