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
Heaven knows how I love you
But I'm tired of holding on

You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Not much chance we're gonna make it
If I'm the only one who's trying
You know I'm running out of reasons
We're running out of time
Someday, girl, you're gonna wake up
And wonder what went wrong

You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're good at going through the motions
All I hear are alibis
Now I get this empty feeling
When I look into your eyes
I don't see the love light shining
I don't know what's going on

You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh oh you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh oh you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
