When I’m Gone - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

There's another world inside of me that you may never see

There's secrets in this life that I can't hide

But somewhere in this darkness

There's a light that I can't find

Well maybe it's too far away, yeah

Or maybe I'm just blind

[Chorus]

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone

Everything I am and everything in me

Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could

I'd give up everything if only for your good

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

You can hold me when I'm scared

You won't always be there

So love me when I'm gone

Love me when I'm gone

[Verse 2]

When your education X-ray cannot see under my skin

I won't tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my friends

Roaming through this darkness, I'm alive, but I'm alone

And part of me is fighting this, but part of me is gone

[Chorus]

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone

Everything I am and everything in me

Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could

I'd give up everything if only for your good

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

You can hold me when I'm scared

You won't always be there

So love me when I'm gone

Love me when I'm gone

[Refrain]

Or maybe I'm just blind

[Chorus]

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone

Everything I am and everything in me

Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could

I'd give up everything if only for your good

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong

You can hold me when I'm scared

You won't always be there

So love me when I'm gone

Love me when I'm gone

[Outro]

Love me when I'm gone

When I'm gone
