Brooks & Dunn – You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m still hurtin’ from the last time
You walked on this heart of mine
I can’t find much to believe in
You let me down so many times
[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven knows how much I love you
But I’m tired of holdin’ on
[Chorus]
You’d better kiss me
‘Cause you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
[Verse 2]
There’s not much chance we’re gonna make it
If I’m the only one who’s tryin’
You know I’m runnin’ out of reasons
We’re runnin’ out of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Someday, girl, you’re gonna wake up
And wonder what went wrong
[Chorus]
You’d better kiss me
‘Cause you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
[Verse 3]
You’re good at goin’ through the motions
And all I hear are alibis
Now I get this empty feelin’
When I look into your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t see a love light shinin’
And I don’t know what’s goin’ on
[Chorus]
You’d better kiss me
‘Cause you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
[Chorus]
You’d better kiss me
‘Cause you gonna miss me when I’m gone
[Outro]
Oh, you gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’d better kiss me
‘Cause you gonna miss me
You gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’d better kiss me
‘Cause you gonna miss me when I’m gone
Oh, you gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’d better kiss me
‘Cause you gonna miss me when I’m gone
GENIUS
