LYRIC FOR SALE

By James Torrey

Verse 1
I’ve been watching how you look right through me,
Like I’m just a shadow on your wall.
We used to burn like July lightning,
Now we barely flicker at all.

Pre‑Chorus
I keep wondering’ If you’d even notice
If this old truck rolled out at dawn…

Chorus
Will you miss me when I’m gone,
When the dust settles on this empty home?
Will you reach for me at midnight
Just to find you’re all alone?
Will the silence make you realize
Everything we had is gone?
Tell me, darlin’, when the road takes me on…
Will you miss me when I’m gone.

Verse 2
I’ve been holding on to worn‑out memories,
Trying to stitch the pieces back in place.
But love don’t live on wishful thinking,
And I can see it written on your face.

Pre‑Chorus
Maybe leaving is the only way
To show you what you’re losing when I’m gone…

Chorus
Will you miss me when I’m gone,
When the dust settles on this empty home?
Will you reach for me at midnight
Just to find you’re all alone?
Will the silence make you realize
Everything we had is gone?
Tell me, darlin’, when the road takes me on…
Will you miss me when I’m gone.

Bridge
Maybe someday you’ll remember
How it felt to hold me tight.
Maybe then you’ll chase the headlights
Fadin’ out into the night.

Final Chorus
Will you miss me when I’m gone,
When the truth hits you like a song?
Will you wish you’d tried to keep me
Instead of stringing me along?
When the memories start to echo
And the nights all feel too long…
Tell me, baby, when the road takes me on…
Will you miss me when I’m gone.
